What does the war in Ukraine really look like now — and why did drones become central to survival on the battlefield?
What does the war in Ukraine really look like now — and why have drones become central to survival on the battlefield?In this episode of KI Insights, host Mykolaj Suchy speaks with Yevhenii Malik, a Ukrainian Marine veteran, Mariupol defender about how the battlefield has changed since Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Drawing on his own military experience and recent conversations with soldiers near frontline areas, Malik explains why drones, Mavics, FPVs, UAVs and UGVs are not just “new technology,” but essential tools for reconnaissance, artillery, anti-tank strikes, engineering, mining operations and, above all, saving infantry lives.

Ukraine’s war has become a war of adaptation. Drones, unmanned systems, deep strikes and sea denial are changing how both Ukraine and Russia fight — and forcing Europe and NATO to rethink the future of warfare.
In this episode of Ukraine Insights, Mykolaj Suchy speaks with Commander Anders Puck Nielsen about Ukraine’s battlefield innovations, Russia’s adaptations, the Black Sea, maneuver warfare, and what the West still needs to learn.

In this episode of Ukraine Insights Adam Sybera speaks with Lessia Bidochko, policy fellow at EPIK, about how Russia uses propaganda, cognitive warfare, far-right networks, Telegram, and “grey narratives” to weaken Ukraine and divide European societies.

In this episode, host, KI Insights Research Editor, Alex Fynn speaks with Ivan Nagornyak, a policy fellow at EPIK and pro bono adviser on Euro-Atlantic integration, about why Kyiv rejects proposals for “associate membership,” how the fall of Orban reveals deeper challenges to accession talks, and why EU reforms will reshape Ukraine’s tax system, business culture, and political economy.

Ukraine is facing a new political crisis as fresh “Mindichgate” revelations expose alleged corruption, internal power struggles, and growing instability around President Volodymyr Zelensky’s inner circle.
In this episode of Ukraine Insights, Jakub Parusinski speaks with senior political researcher Anatoly Oktysiuk about the fallout from the latest tapes, the weakening of Zelensky’s power vertical after Andriy Yermak’s departure, pressure on figures like Rustam Umerov, and why mobilization may become an even bigger threat to stability than corruption itself.
The conversation explores Ukraine’s political future, anti-corruption investigations, and whether Kyiv is entering a new phase of wartime instability.

Ukraine’s foreign policy has evolved from crisis management in 2014 to actively shaping Europe’s security architecture today. But growing global ambitions, mounting pressure for negotiations, and internal fatigue are creating new strategic risks.
In this episode, Adam Sybera speaks with former Minister of Foreign Affairs Pavlo Klimkin about how Ukraine’s diplomatic strategy has changed since Russia’s occupation of Crimea, the expansion of defence partnerships beyond the West, and whether Ukraine is emerging as a global defence actor — or entering competition with its allies.

Hungary has entered a new political chapter.
After more than a decade of Viktor Orbán’s rule, a decisive election result opened the door to structural change — from constitutional reform to foreign policy reset.
In this episode, we speak with Botond Feledy about what this shift means in practice. Can Hungary move from obstruction to cooperation within the EU? Will relations with Ukraine improve? And how will Russia respond to losing one of its closest partners in Central Europe?
This conversation explores the deeper implications of the election — not just for Hungary, but for the future of Europe’s political balance.

The US and Israel’s war in Iran is reshaping the economic foundations of the war in Ukraine. Rising oil prices are giving Russia’s war economy short-term relief, boosting revenues and easing pressure from sanctions.
Despite the provisional ceasefire announced on April 8, uncertainty remains — and the economic consequences of the conflict are already being felt across global energy markets.
Economist Timothy Ash explains how oil prices, sanctions, and global economic trends could determine the trajectory of the war in 2026 and beyond.
Note: This episode was recorded before the April 8 ceasefire announcement.
