PULSE - Tactical medicine for Ukraine’s Post

This year's Almedalsveckan in Sweden - gathering political parties, civil society, academia, and the private sector for discussions on today's big issues - is the first since the country's #NATO accession.

Today’s discussion on technology, innovation, and the role of Ukrainian companies in the global landscape proves one thing: we possess incredible potential. Our solutions, developed in the crucible of war, are becoming groundbreaking on an international scale. We’ve taken consumer-grade technologies, adapted them for defense, and transformed the course of events on the battlefield. The speed at which we implement changes is astonishing. What European companies achieve in years, Ukrainians accomplish in months. Our soldiers, engineers, and entrepreneurs are setting a new standard of efficiency. Ukrainian MilTech is now at the intersection of civilian and military technologies. This synergy creates unique opportunities that could form the foundation of a new technological ecosystem. But to succeed, we need transparent rules, access to European markets, and support for smart investments. We hold the chance to build an innovative nation where Ukrainian companies not only survive but lead the global market. Right now, we are shaping a new generation of champions capable of creating technologies that will define the future. Together, we march toward victory and the rebirth of Ukraine! 🇺🇦

Israel's strength is not because of US support. US support developed as a result of Israeli strength. In 1948, Israel faced numerous challenges and was often isolated diplomatically. Despite this, Israel managed to defend itself in several conflicts against much larger adversaries, securing its borders and ensuring its survival. Over time, Israel developed a robust economy, advanced technology sector, and strong military, leading to its recognition as a regional power. Today, Israel maintains diplomatic relations with many countries around the world and is admired for its innovation and contributions to various fields, including technology, science, and agriculture. One drawback? A small population. In the video you can see how autonomous weapons systems can help to solve. Dear Israel: Speed and self-reliance should be the focus of today. #TakeRafahNow
