Innovating on the Ukrainian battlefield ft. Maksym Eristavi | Visionary

For journalist and author Maksym Eristavi, defence isn’t just a military term. It’s a mindset. And it starts at home — literally. Ahead of his talk at the New Defense Summit in Berlin on the 17th of November, Maksym dials into our studio at Here East to reveal how Ukrainians have turned innovation, identity, and DIY resilience into a powerful toolkit — and why Europeans urgently need to follow suit. From his work exposing Russia’s colonial legacy to supporting frontline tech startups, Eristavi argues that Europe is still clinging to a peacetime mindset — and dangerously underestimating how fast things are changing. “You don’t wait until the door’s kicked in to install a lock,” he says. That applies to drones, defence investment, and even learning how to go a day without electricity. This is an episode not just about Ukraine, but about Europe’s future — and why innovation and resilience are skills we all need to master.
