Ukraine has cleared 50 new ground robotic systems for service since January. They run logistics and casualty evacuation on the deadliest stretches of the front—keeping soldiers out of the kill zone. Over 50,000 missions in 2026. Each one was a soldier who didn't have to go into harm's way.

🇺🇦🇱🇻 Grateful to Latvia for committing 0.25% of its GDP to our victory and for leading the Drone Coalition. Together, we are building a true win-win partnership that secures the future of European defense.
Met with the newly appointed Latvian Defense Minister Raivis Melnis. We are expanding our strategic defense cooperation, focused on scaling the Drone Deal, introducing Latvian anti-drone systems, and deploying strike UAVs, UGVs, and sea drones to the front line. We discussed driving flexible EU credit lines directly into our top battlefield priorities and expanding support via the PURL mechanism. We also invited Latvian partners to leverage the Test in Ukraine initiative to battle-test cutting-edge innovations in real warfare conditions. Grateful to Latvia for committing 0.25% of its GDP to our victory and for leading the Drone Coalition. Together, we are building a true win-win partnership that secures the future of European defense.

A course of action has been approved – to increase the financial sustainability of our defense and ensure the continued transformation of the Ukrainian Army. First – pay. We have the resources to increase pay in the military. The minimum will be 30,000 hryvnias in rear areas. The more combat missions, the higher the level of pay. There will be new, significantly stronger contracts for infantry personnel. On average, 300,000 hryvnias on the front line. Everything depends on our Ukrainian infantryman. The contracts will be structured to ensure clarity: contract terms of 10, 14, and 24 months with clear conditions – meaning clear temporary discharge. Guaranteed terms – and real temporary discharge. In addition, payments for Ukrainian combat commanders will be increased, and this should create a positive incentive to preserve command experience within the Army. Second, I am grateful to all the volunteers from other countries who are fighting for freedom in Ukraine. I have instructed that significantly more opportunities be opened for foreign volunteers to join the Ukrainian Army. There will be additional recruitment mechanisms to support this. Third, further simplification of transfers for warriors, more opportunities to advance within the Army, and more positive incentives to join the defense. I expect every element of the changes now being implemented to show its effectiveness this summer. The Ministry of Defense will present the details of the decisions.

Ukraine is transforming its Defense Forces to strengthen our military, preserve our people, and maintain our technological edge. Clearer contracts. Higher pay. Guaranteed temporary discharge after service. Better support for those on the front line. More flexibility, accountability, and effectiveness across the force. This is a systemic reform built around one goal: a stronger military capable of stopping the enemy and forcing Russia toward a just peace.

Yana, 20, artillery cadet. She dreamed of studying filmmaking — then February 2022 changed everything. In 2023 she entered the National Army Academy. In a war dominated by drones, she chose artillery: "A drone can be jammed. A 155mm shell can't." "I'm here because I want to live in Ukraine. I can't and won't stand aside." Glory to the Heroes! 🇺🇦 📷: 148th Artillery Brigade

Ukraine has a vital 6–9 month window to build momentum and compel peace negotiations from a position of strength.
Ukraine is in its strongest strategic position since late 2022. With Russia's offensive stalled by heavy losses, Ukraine has a vital 6–9 month window to build momentum and compel peace negotiations from a position of strength. 🧵 1/10

🇺🇦 Ukraine is training AI to hunt enemy drones, using data from actual combat. 100 companies now access real battlefield footage via @BRAVE1ua Dataroom: thermal & visual feeds of aerial targets, multiple sensors, day/night, all weather — scenarios as close to real combat as it gets. Already deployed at the front: autonomous drone guidance, GPS-independent navigation under EW jamming, intel processing, detection of concealed enemy assets, autonomous firing positions, and enemy action forecasting via DELTA. One @BRAVE1ua participant has already automated 95% of the Shahed interception process. The goal: 100% of frontline drones equipped with machine vision and AI. Huge thanks to @PalantirTech, @mintsyfra, @GeneralStaffUA, and the Research Institute of Military Intelligence.
