Palantir harvests battlefield data that Ukraine pays for ‘with blood’
Palantir has deepened its partnership with Ukraine, launching the Brave1 Dataroom platform in January 2026 to train military AI using four years of real-world battlefield data. Ukrainian defence figures warn that Kyiv is paying for this data 'with blood' while a private US corporation converts it into capital and strategic leverage, and critics highlight Palantir's involvement in human rights abuses and mass surveillance.
