Regarding Russia's war against Ukraine, the authors of the -ed note that it is vital to stay the course as Putin is incapable of destroying Ukraine’s sovereignty and independence. Russia's actions are a gross viation of the UN Charter and international norms, the authors stress, adding that their agencies will continue to assist Ukrainian intelligence partners.

Moore and Burns said the war demonstrated the impact of technogy on the battlefield.

Ukraine became the first theater of war of its kind where en source software is combined with advanced battlefield technogy, invving commercial and military satellite imagery, drones, high and low complexity cyber warfare, social media, en source intelligence, psys, as well as human and signals intelligence, at an incredible pace and scale. This emphasizes the need for adaptation, experiments, and innovation, the two intelligence chiefs underline.

Burns and Moore recall that their agencies had saw it coming and were able to warn the international community so that the democracies could unite to defend Ukraine.
