🎙️Ukrainian Freedom News | American in Ukraine every day since 2022. | On a long truth-seeking journey that began in the dark halls of American power
Lviv, Ukraine
Joined October 2011
I’m JP Lindsley, an American journalist advocating for freedom + truth in Ukraine every day since February 24 2022. Follow me to feel the reality of resistance and war. I share what I see with whomever I can—especially skeptics. See 🧵below for story of why I am here ⤵️
If I’d never been to Ukraine, I’d probably oppose it. From afar, to those quite tired of Washington's games, Ukraine might look like another endless U.S. war—pushed by media spin, the defense industry, and Hunter Biden’s Burisma connections. Even Hollywood seemed in on it until

October 25 was St Crispin's Day and also the anniversary of the English victory at Agincourt. As former speaker of the U.S. House Newt Gingrich noted in a podcast with California Governor Gavin Newsom, Agincourt and Ukraine have much in common in terms of wartime innovation.

12/ ROI vs values is a false choice. Eveline's view: Focus on battlefield impact and profits follow. Useful systems get adopted, generate revenue & follow‑on capital, and ultimately produce exits. Full interview here: https://t.co/09hj8Kl1my 🧵🎬

11/ Ecosystem tailwinds: accelerators (e.g., Defense Builder), grant programs like @BRAVE1ua for prototyping & early sales, and a growing bench of local VCs. Rising EU defense budgets create strong downstream demand. https://t.co/H0jrENNOJY ⤵️

This is an example page. It's different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that...

10/ What D3 selects for: (1) founders prioritizing Ukraine now, (2) deeply technical teams (CTO‑led; often all‑engineer), (3) ambition to go global and stay in defense—building a durable “defense‑tech valley,” not a one‑off wartime project. ⤵️

9/ Ukrainian standouts are building full stacks—from reconnaissance drones to AI-enabled strike systems and deep‑strike capabilities—scaling to hundreds of employees and negotiating major partnerships in the US & EU. ⤵️

8/ Beyond capital, D3 helps international teams set up in Ukraine: manufacturing in-country, country managers, field engineers. In several cases, the Ukraine‑based team grows larger than HQ—because it's here in Ukraine where learning and urgent demand are. ⤵️

7/ While there is huge potential for selling products to Western nations, D3 has one key rule: If the Ukrainian Armed Forces aren’t a primary end user, they don’t invest. Nevertheless! PROVEN combat usefulness drives adoption—and revenue ⤵️

6/ D3’s mandate: Equip Ukrainian warfighters with the best tech and turn hidden Ukrainian gems into global winners. Portfolio: 17 startups—8 founded by Ukrainians serving Ukraine; the rest from the US, Germany, Israel, the UK, etc. ⤵️

5/ Unique edge: immediate access to the end user. Teams get feedback from frontline representatives without going to the front—cutting months off PMF for drones, EW, ISR, C2, and autonomy. ⤵️

4/ Why such events matter: “Raise the entropy," she says. More collisions → more experiments → more deals. The real value is hallway talks with soldiers, engineers, and procurement folks who can green‑light trials on the spot. [I saw this happening first-hand] ⤵️

3/ Eveline (@EveKiev) notes that the annual Brave1 event has grown into an international conference with ~5,000 attendees and founders from across allied nations—not just local teams. Signal: a global market is being built in Ukraine. ⤵️

2/ Eveline Buchatskiy, managing partner at D3—early-stage defense-tech VC backing Ukraine-first founders & allied teams, explains why ROI and defending democracy aren’t a trade‑off She was speaking to @militarnyi at & about Ukraine's @BRAVE1ua Defense Tech Valley conference ⤵️

1/ Ukraine isn’t just fighting a war machine—it’s operating the world’s most agile defense‑tech lab. For builders & investors, it’s a once‑in‑a‑generation entry point: rapid iteration, end‑user access, freedom defense. Here's why combat‑proven beats pitch‑deck‑promised! 🧵⤵️

If you're a foreign nation seeking to win over America, play like Malaysia. There is an art to reaching the American people and the American president. It starts with the right optics. Anyone who has ever marketed anything to a vast audience of Americans knows this.

In Ukraine, every light switch you flick is a reminder of resistance. The particular targets of last night's massive Russian bombing blitz seemed to have been Ukraine's energy & water infrastructure, to make life hell for people who refuse to submit to the Kremlin war machine.

6/ Here's a catch: What newly elected President, with the reigns of power fully in hand, would resign on Day 1 just to hand power to someone else? Indeed it is silly. But Bannon's coyness is strange. So if you see Trump starting to focus on a particular district ... 🧵🎬

5/ The Presidential Succession Act, made on authority of Art II, Sec 1, Clause 6, puts the Speaker 2nd in line to the presidency. So in theory this could work. The 20th amendment only limits a person to *two elections* as president. And this would not be an election.🤔⤵️
