Ukraine war is changing how nation-states will fight wars in the 21st century by underpinning new revolutionary technologies utilised by the Ukrainian war effort and information warfare used by the Russian Federation to demoralise the United States of America.

Russian disinformation is successfully turning the American Republican Party and the right wing of American politics away from supporting Ukrainian and foreign interventions outside the North American continent.

The success of Russian information campaigns and its ability to demoralise foreign populations is truly revolutionary by winning a war without actually engaging in a direct military confrontation with their old rivals, the United States.

The Ukrainian military also, within April 2024, has managed to target the Russian Federation territory of the Republic of Tatarstan, which is over 800 miles from the frontline battles of Ukraine.

This shows the potential of drone warfare, and drone warfare is also revolutionising the way battles are fought, with a $400 Ukrainian drone able to destroy
