Episode Details

Ukraine just pulled off a major tech win: a homegrown drone interceptor successfully took down a Shahed drone, with President Zelenskiy personally praising the breakthrough—though he admits there’s still work to be done. In one night alone, Ukrainian forces downed 187 airborne targets, intercepting 93% of Russian drones, a stunning feat that’s fueling global interest as Ukraine shares its defense innovations. Yet challenges remain, especially against ballistic missiles, prompting urgent calls for Western support and the push for a unified European air defense system. Meanwhile, Zelenskiy revealed Russian drones intruded into Moldovan airspace twice during his visit—possibly targeting his presidential jet—following Moldova’s earlier airspace closure. Tragically, a Russian strike on Slovyansk killed a couple and damaged three buildings, underscoring the ongoing human cost of the war.
