War in Ukraine

Every weapon eventually meets a countermeasure. But what about fiber-optic drones? Their growing deployment on both Ukrainian and Russian fronts has compelled armed forces to develop tactics and systems to counter this relatively new threat.

Denmark came to Kyiv in force. With its biggest-ever business delegation, the country is deepening defense and investment ties to strengthen Ukraine’s security, resilience, and recovery. In an interview with UNITED24 Media, Danish Minister ​​for Industry, Business and Financial Affairs, Morten Bødskov, shared how new partnerships and guarantees are turning long-term commitment into concrete action.

When an F-16 pilot took off in December 2024 to protect Ukraine during a massive Russian attack, his only thought was defending his homeland—not setting records. But that’s exactly what happened after he shot down six Russian cruise missiles in a single mission—something never before achieved over Ukrainian skies.

Russia continues to attack Ukrainian cities with consistent intensity. This time, the missile attack targeted the nation’s capital—Kyiv. The Russian military launched Shahed drones and ballistic missiles at the city’s civilian and energy infrastructure.

In a war defined by drones, satellites, and electronic warfare, videos of Russian soldiers on horseback in occupied Ukraine are a symptom of exhaustion—an army running out of fuel but rich in imperial myths.

Russia continues to lose its navy—including its newest ships—and now even far from the Black Sea. Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin has brought the war onto Russian soil, where there is no longer safety, even thousands of kilometers from the front line.
