During the meeting, Fedorov presented Ukraine’s defence strategy, which the ministry said is structured around three main domains: air, land and the economy. According to the ministry, air defence and the protection of Ukrainian airspace remain the country’s primary priorities.
The ministry stated that Ukraine’s objectives in the air domain include achieving full identification of aerial targets and intercepting at least 95% of hostile airborne threats. The strategy also includes the use of artificial intelligence technologies to predict and counter air attacks while seeking to achieve air superiority and shift combat operations onto Russian territory.
According to the ministry, Russia used approximately 27,000 Shahed-type attack drones against Ukraine during the winter period. Despite the scale of the attacks, Ukraine said it continues expanding its capabilities to detect and intercept aerial threats.
Fedorov also presented reforms and operational changes being prepared for the Ukrainian armed forces. The ministry stated that the discussions included battlefield deterrence approaches and the use of digital systems designed to support combat operations.
Representatives from Palantir were shown Ukraine’s Army of Drones system, including the Bonus programme and the operational principles of e-Points. The ministry also separately presented the Mission Control system within DELTA, which it said changes the approach to troop management.
The parties additionally discussed Ukraine’s economic domain strategy, including the development of deep-strike capabilities targeting facilities that support Russia’s ability to finance and conduct the war. According to the ministry, sanctions aimed at weakening the Russian military economy also formed part of the discussions.
During the meeting, the Ukrainian delegation demonstrated AI-based technologies currently used in military operations. The ministry stated that these solutions are already supporting combat data analytics, detection of Russian targets, mission planning and improving the operational effectiveness of Ukraine’s Defence Forces.
According to the ministry, the discussions also explored potential areas for future cooperation between Ukraine and Palantir Technologies. The parties said they may jointly develop technological solutions designed to strengthen the security of both Ukraine and other countries.
