💢 Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov is seeking US investment for a new defense technology fund that would develop weapons and build military-tech companies for Ukraine, the Financial Times reports.
Fedorov said the project would go beyond a conventional venture fund by both investing in existing Ukrainian startups and creating new companies. Its initial priorities would be battlefield robotics to reduce reliance on manpower, cheap high-speed interceptor drones against Russian jet-powered attack UAVs, and low-cost AI-enabled missiles.
Fedorov said Russia was likely to drag out the conflict and that, if it continued for another two or three years, the fund would use Western capital to develop new battlefield technologies while giving investors access to lessons learned from Ukraine’s wartime experience.
