Resist UA: What Victory Looks Like!
12 October 2026
Summary:
Roman Sulzhyk is an original. A really original thinker.
He brings the historical, political and economic context, plus a dose of reality about humanity.
His “secret agenda”: he invests in founders building the tech Ukraine needs today, and he hopes those same founders will be running the country in twenty years’ time.
This is true investing. Technology that becomes industries, European scale, global leaders, and in the background, nation building.
Roman can do this because he is there. He’s on the ground in Kyiv with founders in the garage and in the shelters, not just on the calls. He brings deep trust to go with the deep tech, and very few people walk that walk. Support Resist.UA
We explore:
– For Ukraine, €20bn a year in procurement is the equivalent of €2tn for Europe. Necessity plus capital at that scale builds an industry.
– The e-points system lets soldiers spend points on startup gear, and the startup gets paid. It’s the fastest feedback loop in defence anywhere.
– Pressure on Russia is cheaper than more aid. Start by making listed companies disclose the tax they pay in Russia.
– He backs the founders with their heads down in the garage, not the ones buying a G-Wagon after their first million.
