Summary
Danylo Tsvok said Ukraine aims to unify its battlefield AI into a single operating system within three to five years, calling it a new warfare paradigm if the war with Russia continues.
That network would fuse data from the 1,200-km front and recommend actions from frontline units to strategic command, accelerating the strike "kill chain" while keeping humans in the loop for now.
Ukraine already uses AI to fly drones, plan combat operations and analyze Russian missile attacks, and its defence ministry created the AI centre in March to push data-driven decision-making.
Russia is also expanding AI use, including for planning drone and missile strikes, turning the conflict into a technological arms race that has drawn firms such as Palantir and battlefield-data sharing through Brave1 Dataroom.
