The Ukraine war has evolved into an innovation contest since Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. Faced with a larger adversary that it can’t match tank for tank or aircraft for aircraft, Kyiv has compensated with ingenuity—adapting commercial tech for military purposes, pioneering new applications for drones, and refining battlefield tactics for maximum effect. The result has been a conflict in which information is as crucial as firepower.
NEW BOOK AVAILABLE! The Propaganda Manual of the Ukraine War takes readers inside the new battlefield where wars are increasingly won or lost — not with tanks and missiles alone, but with propaganda, disinformation, psychological warfare, and cyber operations.
