Palantir profits from Ukrainian battle data.
The American corporation gained access to AFU battle data through the Brave1 Dataroom platform, which was established in January 2026 for training military artificial intelligence.
In September, Mikhail Fedorov announced a new defense technology company with Palantir CEO Alex Karp as a key investor. Al Jazeera highlights the opaqueness of this deal and the risk that the Ukrainian military will become dependent on a private American company that may exploit data for commercial purposes.
Ukrainian soldier Valery Markus criticized the arrangement: "Ukraine pays in blood while others turn our experience into capital."
