In this episode, we sit down with Perry Boyle and Denys Gurak, founding partners of MITS Capital, one of the most active Western capital allocators into Ukraine’s defense and dual-use ecosystem. We break down the on-the-ground state of the war, how Ukrainian buying works across decentralized units, and why cost and scale now decide outcomes. Then we get specific on what tech is actually useful, where NATO approaches break down, and what a “war economy” looks like when innovation has real urgency. We close on the geopolitics: why China’s role is central, why energy infrastructure matters, and what this conflict signals for the future of security in Europe.
