Ukraine is becoming increasingly important as a European security partner, observes The Independent:
βThe Ukrainians have the biggest army of any European nation, and have become global leaders in the revolution in warfare wrought by drone and anti-drone technology (and soon, by AI). … the Europeans have much to learn from Ukraine, and the military relationship is now a two-way street. … As the UK continues to build a new security partnership with Europe β one that, out of necessity, must for now work beyond the existing structures of the European Union β it is clear that Ukraine is no longer a supplicant, but a military force essential to this task. It is an indispensable ally, and a welcome one.β
