VENUE:FPRI

Lessons From Ukraine’s ‘First World Drone War’ 

October 15, 2025 | 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm | Eurasia Program

About the Event

Against the backdrop of summits and stalled peace talks, the Russo-Ukrainian continues to grind on. The rapid evolution of drones and deployment at the front has come to define the conflict. Join FPRI President Aaron Stein for a conversation with the Philadelphia Inquirer's Worldview columnist Trudy Rubin, who has recently returned from a trip to the Ukrainian front. The two will discuss Trudy's recent article on what Western allies need to learn from Kyiv's experience to counter AI-driven weapons of the future.
