From Flowers to FPVs: Kseniia’s War Workshop

In this episode, Tim fights his way through a forgotten corner of Soviet-style bureaucracy — and Kseniia Kalmus talks about her transformation from Kyiv florist to drone engineer, and how she created a community of foreign and Ukrainian volunteers working together to build some of the military’s most important weapons.

She shares how fundraising became a daily part of life for every Ukrainian, what it costs to produce an FPV drone, and why this new wave of citizen innovation may be Ukraine’s strongest weapon yet.
