I interviewed Ukraine’s top spy chief in Kyiv this week for @thetimes. He has never spoken to international media before. Here’s what he told me:
1) Putin will exhaust Russia’s ability to wage war by 2028 if its military and economic losses continue at their current rate.

My thoughts for @KateGerbeau on the recent drone attack on Novorossiysk were focused having just listened to @WeHaveWaysPod and @almurray on the Battle of Taranto.
Being attacked in your home port or homestead strikes fear into sailors, compromises their sense of protection, further diverts assets for port protection, and targets the fleet on being.

#SCSPTech's Nandita Balakrishnan sat down with @KateGerbeau of BFBS and @AnnaIsabelaK of the The Alan Turing Institute (@turinginst) for a crucial discussion on "Applying AI for Strategic Warning."
Key takeaway: Because AI can help spot trends and flag risks rapidly (limited only by its data), it empowers intel professionals by automating analysis, enabling sharper strategic thinking and earlier warnings. Investing in AI (infrastructure, talent, ethics) is vital; the cost of inaction is far greater. Tune in for the full conversation here: bfbs.com/radio/podcasts/bfbs…
