— Russia's main advantage is its ability to jam and spoof the radio signals that connect Ukrainian drones and drone pilots. Moscow's other big advantage: its Orlan-10 reconnaissance drones, which are often able to evade Ukrainian detection and can order deadly strikes by a range of attack weapons — drones, artillery and ballistic missiles.
— In the long run, the answer is artificial intelligence — software that enables an attack drone to fly the last mile without a pilot. It's a twofold challenge for developers — there are two essential steps an AI-enabled drone must be able to perform by itself. The first challenge is navigation: developing software for the tiny flight controller on board the drone that knows the intended flight path and recognizes the territory below, guiding the device to its target without GPS or other help. The second step is the strike — recognizing the targeted object and diving or releasing an explosive payload without a signal from a pilot on the ground.

— Over the next twelve years (by 2036), the Federal Council intends to provide CHF5 billion in support to Ukraine and the wider region, including CHF1.5 billion for the 2025–28 period.
— In June, the Federal Council reaffirmed that Switzerland's private sector should play a key role in Ukraine's recovery efforts. With a stimulus programme providing CHF500 million in funding over a four-year period, the government intends to create incentives for private investment in Ukraine recovery efforts by Swiss companies, thus ensuring visible 'Swissness'.
— Ukrainian refugees receiving skills training in Switzerland may also subsequently provide expertise to help rebuild Ukraine.
