Technology solves everything — Budanov explained what is needed to defeat Russia

For Ukraine not to lose the war against Russia, it must meet several conditions related to military tactics and technologies for the army. This was stated by the current head of the President's Office, Kyrylo Budanov, on the sidelines of the Kyiv Security Forum, UNN reports.

According to the head of the Presidential Office, the main thing for a future victory over the enemy is "not to slow down the pace of confrontation and to make a new technological leap."

Will we win this competition, this war? We will definitely not lose. But again, if we stop or slow down our pace – there are risks here.

Details

The head of the Presidential Office clarified: Ukraine currently has advantages on the battlefield over Russia due to the variety of equipment types and the quantity in which it is used by the military. However, there is a nuance here too.

The development (of technology – ed.) is continuous, and if a certain technological progress is not made now, the effectiveness of these devices in achieving their goals will fall exponentially.

He is confident: a new technological leap is needed, meaning artificial intelligence technologies and new signal transmission technologies for control.

Because with the existing ones, I believe, both we and the Russians have already reached our maximum. Further (development – ed.) can only be quantitative, but that will not solve the problem.

Recall

In early April 2026, the head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, stated that there was progress in negotiations with Russia and a possible quick end to the war. In his opinion, resolving the conflict would no longer take much time.
