Multiple scenarios outline how Russia’s war in Ukraine could unfold, with none offering easy answers. Each path tests not only Ukraine’s resilience, but the unity, strategy, and resolve of the democratic world.

After World War II, Europe sought ways to prevent another large-scale war. One solution was the signing of the Helsinki Accords. For decades, European capitals abided by these principles—until Russia invaded Georgia in 2008, Ukraine in 2014, and turned the war into mass terror in 2022.

In just one month, Ukrainian defence -tech startups raised $20 million. While that’s a drop in the bucket compared to their US counterparts, it is a stunning leap for an industry that barely existed two years ago. Global investors are chasing what only Ukraine can provide: battlefield-hardened innovation with real-world results.
