The Ukrainian drone schools training operators for war are having to rewrite their lessons as fast as every other week to get students ready for an ever-changing battlefield. Within the drone battle, a critically important aspect of this war, tech and tactics are shifting rapidly. Three drone schools told Business Insider that it's imperative they keep their lessons up to date because it's life or death on the battlefield.

Those chips were ultimately used to power Russian and Iranian weapon systems, causing wrongful deaths last year. Their complaints alleged that for years, Texas Instruments (TI), AMD, and Intel have ignored public reporting, government warnings, and shareholder pressure to do more to track final destinations of chips and shut down shady distribution channels diverting chips to sanctioned actors in Russia and Iran.

Zelenskyy said the US had been presented with an updated version of a peace plan. Details of all its amendments were not disclosed, pending the US reaction. But Zelenskyy did say the 20-point plan included security guarantees as well as an agreement for the rebuilding of Ukraine.

Divia, which had its world premiere at the 2025 Karlovy Vary Film Festival, is a haunting, meditative journey through Ukraine's wounded landscapes-told entirely without dialogue.

"At the current stage of the war, it is unmanned aerial vehicles that provide about 60% of all strikes on enemy targets," Syrskyi wrote.

"Over the past six months, this indicator has been constantly growing," Syrskyi added. Meanwhile, Ukrainian uncrewed ground vehicles, or UGVs, carried out 2,000 missions in the same timeframe, he said.

describing it as weak and decaying and claiming it was destroying itself through immigration. In a rambling and sometimes incoherent interview with Politico, a transcript of which was released on Tuesday, the US president struggled to name any other Ukrainian cities except for Kyiv, misrepresented elements of the trajectory of the conflict, and recycled far-right tropes about European immigration that echoed the great replacement conspiracy theory.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held a meeting with Pope Leo XIV at Castel Gandolfo, located outside Rome. According to a Vaticanstatement, the Pope reiterated the need for the continuation of dialogue and "expressed his urgent desire that the current diplomatic initiatives bring about a just and lasting peace." This comes as Zelenskyy continues his tour through Europe to secure support for his country while standing firm in the face of pressure to give away territory to Russia.

While Ukraine president hailed Ireland for standing with his country against Russia, not everyone in Leinster House was in sync with the message By the time Volodymyr Zelensky entered the Dáil chamber, the temperature outside had dropped to 6C as evening drew in across Merrion Square. Over 3,000km away in Moscow, his enemy was preparing to meet with US brokers to discuss the latest, redrafted peace plan aimed at ending the war in Ukraine.

I think we built on that today, but there's more work to be done,

Under its terms, Ukraine would face no meaningful limit on its peacetime military, despite Russian attempts to impose draconian restrictions since 2022. (The only requirement, a cap of 600,000 personnel, probably exceeds the number of active-duty forces Ukraine would maintain anyway.) Moreover, Ukraine would receive a substantial security guarantee from the United States and Europe the strongest in history, even if short of a Nato-style commitment.
