Missiles, drones, artillery—the Ukrainian defense industry has reinvented itself since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion. Today, the challenge is to find sufficient funds for orders—to keep it going.

There is a way to hand over $209 billion of frozen Russian assets to Ukraine. Experts speculate that it is somewhat risky legally and may harm the long-term financial interests of the Western world. But the US just did it. So, is that really the case?

With $60.8 billion in fresh US aid, Ukraine hopes to withstand a looming Russian offensive. The package prioritizes long-range missiles and air defense systems, which are crucial to counter Russia’s overwhelming firepower.

Consistent reports of GPS interference have plagued Finland, Poland, the Baltic states, and the Baltic Sea. This poses a significant threat to civilian aviation and regional military security. Suspicions point to Russia's Kaliningrad exclave as the source of these disruptions.

Iskander, Kalibr, Zircon: Russia employs a dozen different types of missiles to bombard Ukrainian territory, ranging from modern weaponry to remnants from Soviet times. Ukraine needs support in shooting them down.

Weapons created more than two decades ago by the Soviet Union still pose a threat to civilians in Ukraine today. But Russia doesn’t seem too bothered by that.
