Photos and a summary of the trip were shared by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.president.gov.ua\/en\/news\/prezident-ukrayini-ta-seo-palantir-obgovorili-spivpracyu-v-s-75541\" target=\"_blank\">Zelenskyy\u2019s office<\/a> and posted on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The visit to the capital is the first made by an executive of a major Western company since Russia launched its bloody invasion in February. A handful of government officials including U.S. first lady Jill Biden, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson have visited, as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zelenskyy in a statement described the in-person dialogue as a \u201cpositive signal that despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2022\/05\/05\/nsa-cyber-boss-seeks-to-discourage-vigilante-hacking-against-russia\/\" target=\"_blank\">a full-scale war<\/a>, Ukraine is open to business and ready for cooperation.\u201d He said he is \u201cdelighted that Palantir is ready to invest in Ukraine and help us in the fight against Russia on the digital frontline.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The talks addressed Russian cyberattacks, which preceded the invasion and continue to jumble networks, as well as enhancing the Ukrainian military\u2019s digital portfolio. The U.S. has reinforced Ukrainian defenses, including in cyberspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are actively working not only on the digital blockade of the Russian Federation, but also to attract top international companies to Ukraine. This is one of our priorities today,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FedorovMykhailo?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor\" target=\"_blank\">Fedorov said<\/a> in a statement Thursday. \u201cModern warfare has changed the rules, and technology plays a big role in it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Palantir in a tweet said it was honored to take part in the talks about the ongoing war, collaboration and \u201cthe pivotal role of software to Western security.\u201d A spokesperson offered similar comments Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Palo Alto-based company, known for its data analytics and software development capability, went <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2020\/09\/30\/secretive-never-profitable-palantir-makes-its-market-debut\/\" target=\"_blank\">public in 2020<\/a>. It launched using seed money from the CIA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Palantir has won contracts with government organizations, banks, and other private institutions and in recent years made headway with the U.S. military following a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/home\/2016\/07\/01\/palantir-takes-fight-with-army-to-federal-court\/\" target=\"_blank\">legal spat<\/a> with the Army.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several years ago, Palantir <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2016\/09\/15\/palantir-claims-army-misled-to-keep-it-out-of-dcgs-a-program\/\" target=\"_blank\">sued the Army over its procurement plans<\/a> for the Distributed Common Ground System-Army, or DCGS-A, an intelligence analysis platform. The company maintained that it could provide a less expensive and more capable solution to the service and urged the Army to abandon its decision to internally develop the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Through the 2016 lawsuit, Palantir revealed a major culture clash behind the scenes between service leadership and company executives. The Army was forced to reevaluate its approach after Palantir won in court. And, after a new competition, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2019\/03\/29\/palantir-who-successfully-sued-the-army-just-won-a-major-army-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\">Palantir is providing tactical level DCGS-A systems<\/a> to the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Palantir is embracing its work within the Defense Department, setting up a splashy booth at the Association of the U.S. Army\u2019s annual conference in Washington, D.C., in 2018. It has repeated its attendance since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has also been i<a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/pentagon\/2019\/12\/13\/do-palantirs-ads-slotted-to-run-during-the-army-navy-game-take-a-shot-at-google\/\" target=\"_blank\">nvolved with Project Maven<\/a>, a Pentagon effort to develop artificial intelligence capabilities that could help, for instance, flag and decipher aerial surveillance footage. The point of the project is to use AI and machine-learning to shorten the decision-making timeline on the battlefield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe are actively
