Grateful to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty for telling the story of this important moment.
Last week, the Peace Through Strength Institute had the privilege of bringing two Ukrainian drone commanders to Washington to share their battlefield lessons directly with 49 Republican U.S. senators in a closed-door session.
