Ukraine has begun deploying its own satellite network. The first two satellites are already in orbit, Denys Shtilierman, co-founder and chief designer of Fire Point, tells Financial Times. According to him, developers plan to launch dozens more satellites into space as early as 2027, which will allow Ukraine to rely less on the US and private Western corporations. The impetus for the rapid development of Ukrainian technology was last year’s conflict in the Oval Office between US President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. At that time, Washington blocked the transfer of intelligence data to Kyiv for a week. Another reason was the Starlink system, which turned out to be not as reliable a support as expected. It turned out that Russia had learned to exploit Elon Musk’s network, turning it into a navigation tool for its drones hunting Ukrainian targets.
Shtilierman also says that European governments and defense groups are considering purchasing and co-producing his company’s drones and missiles, which are significantly cheaper than Western models.
He adds that the idea behind Ukraine’s weapons is that we are selling not only weapons and not only security, but also independence in the field of security. In March, during the international forum Space For Ukraine, Deputy Minister of Defense for Digitalization Kateryna Chornohorenko announced the creation of the Space Policy Directorate. According to her, with the help of this new structure, the Ministry of Defense aims to become the primary procurer of space technology and software for the needs of the Defense Forces.
She also hinted at the possible creation of a new branch of the military. The department will focus on three main areas. First, it will improve the regulatory framework and draft documents to develop the military’s space capabilities. The agency’s second area of focus will be technological expertise. The department will collaborate with scientific institutions, centers, and developers to identify promising technologies and specialists for integration into the defense sector.
The department will also establish partnerships with international governmental and commercial entities and enter into contracts for the supply of technologies and data. Ukraine’s dependence on Western partners for intelligence access became particularly evident in March 2025, when the Trump White House paused military aid, intelligence support, and vital weapons shipments to Ukraine following US President Donald Trump’s Oval Office clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Feb. 28. Trump’s envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, said he believed the move was intended to pressure Ukraine into negotiations. The pause particularly affected intelligence required for strikes inside Russian territory. Fire Point, founded after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, has rapidly grown into one of Ukraine’s leading defense firms, producing long-range drones and cruise missiles used in strikes deep inside Russian territory. The company also says it is working on a “pan-European air-defence shield,” designed to reduce reliance on individual foreign systems and create a more integrated European security network. Shtilierman said European governments and defense companies are increasingly interested in Ukrainian systems, citing their lower cost and combat experience compared with Western alternatives. Fire Point says its satellite push is tightly linked to its wider defense ecosystem, which integrates drones, missiles, and autonomous targeting systems into a unified battlefield network. The company has also expanded rapidly across Ukraine, scaling production and decentralising facilities to reduce vulnerability to Russian strikes while increasing output of unmanned systems used in frontline operations.
