Confronting Russian agents: detecting moles, arresting collaborators, uncovering sabotage groups - this experience is already being studied in Europe, where the Russian spy network has also become more active.
Again, it could be better, there is room for growth, there are a lot of mistakes, etc. But you must admit that this is not the same level as in 2014. There are things that need to be changed, but unlike the West, we understand how Russians think, they are not a mystery to us. And this is our advantage, which we have been using for years
Information special operations. Ukraine has proven that information warfare is not just about news. It is about attacking the enemy's morale, discrediting their command, and using the media to conduct psychological operations. Most of what has been done will hardly ever be talked about in public, but it is a fact that, despite the impressive difference in budget, we are doing quite well in resisting Russia.
And yes, this is the merit not only of Ukraine's special services, but also of ordinary people who made Russia burn more than one billion dollars.
Adaptability and speed of decision-making is also something we can add to our assets. Ukrainian special services work in a mode of constant improvisation. They do not have the luxury of long strategic planning, as NATO does.
They act quickly, seize every opportunity, and very often react immediately to changes. The world's intelligence agencies, which are used to bureaucracy, have a lot to learn from us.
Again, we can do better, there are things that need to be changed. But the time for decision-making is minimal. This is what gives Ukraine a chance to make mistakes and correct them, even in the middle of operations.
Ukrainians have realised Russia's weakness in decision-making and approval and have learnt to exploit it in practice. Western partners, on the other hand, have only theoretical knowledge of how to counteract the same agents of influence, of which they have thousands, tens of thousands, in the US and EU
We don't have time for bureaucracy, we have made it our speciality, which constantly ruins everything the Russians have been planning for years. Not a bad result, in my opinion, given the dominance of Russian agents in Ukraine and the difference in budgets.
Survival. Ukraine has shown that intelligence services can operate under continuous fire, in cities without electricity, under attack by drones and missiles. And not just survive, but do their job in conditions that would be catastrophic for most Western intelligence agencies.
Moral. Like it or not, the Ukrainian intelligence services and the Armed Forces have not only proved their effectiveness, they have rewritten the rules of modern warfare. They act faster, more accurately and more ruthlessly than the enemy. Their methods are already becoming a model for NATO intelligence services and the US Army. They are shaping the future of global security.
The world needs to recognise this and start learning, because what is happening in Ukraine now may become a new reality for everyone tomorrow.
Of course, we also have enough problems, but to resist Russia for more than 10 years in a row is a good result, in my opinion.
And the last thing is that the teachers at the best military institutions in the US and the EU will be from Ukraine. Because, apart from Ukrainians, no one in history has ever destroyed Russians on an industrial scale
