          The war in Ukraine can be tough to follow, and President Trump’s pronouncements don’t help. One month, he dismisses Ukraine’s chances, saying it has “no cards.” The next, he declares it can retake all its territory from Russia, and “maybe even go further.”

          To understand what’s actually happening, I visited Ukraine last week and worked alongside Times reporters there. The team — led by our bureau chief, Andrew Kramer — has covered the war closely, often at great risk on the front lines.

          In our conversations with soldiers, officials, entrepreneurs and activists, I was struck by how Russia and Ukraine are engaged in two separate contests beyond the battlefield: a sprint for technological innovation that is redefining the future of warfare, and an endurance race to maintain political stability at home.

          These aren’t the big, expensive Predators and Reapers the U.S. has used. The Russian and Ukrainian drones are mostly small, mass-produced quadcopters, and inexpensive aircraft the size of a kayak. Both sides are rushing to produce them faster and more cheaply, and make them deadlier. Russia’s industrial might has lately given it an edge: It has flown more than 34,000 drones into Ukraine this year,

          And it’s not just aerial drones. Kim took me to an abandoned factory known as Killhouse Academy, where Ukrainian recruits learn to steer unmanned ground vehicles that deliver supplies and evacuate the wounded — tasks that have become too dangerous for humans. In the Black Sea, drones resembling speedboats and torpedoes have kept Russia’s fleet at bay.

          These are the new economics of war: Drones worth hundreds or thousands of dollars must be shot down by missiles that cost millions to protect tanks and ships that cost even more. That changes the shape of conflict.

          The race is on to improve counter-drone defenses, and to overcome them. Better electronic jamming can be bested by drones connected to spools of fiber optic wire, which in turn can sometimes be defeated with inexpensive nets. Venture capital is pouring into start-ups in Ukraine. Moscow has gotten help from Iran and China.

          Ukraine has been under martial law for nearly four years; Zelensky would otherwise have faced an election last year. Even his main rivals agree, though, that the country should refrain from a divisive, disruptive election while the war rages.

          That has left democracy in Ukraine — which protesters shed blood to preserve a decade ago — in fragile shape. Long-running concerns about corruption have been exacerbated by fears that money for the war is being stolen. Ukrainians set aside their differences when the war began, but that sense of unity is fraying. One lawmaker told us Zelensky’s attempt to weaken the anticorruption agencies had made Ukraine more vulnerable to Russian efforts to sow political chaos — a shortcut to win the war.

          The expo was part of a push by South Korean monks to connect with younger people. Buddhists have also hosted a dating reality show and started a K-pop music group of monks and nuns. Many of the initiatives have taken off on social media and drawn crowds of young people. But it’s still unclear whether the buzz is the beginning of a true spiritual awakening.
