Profile

Mariia Berlinska served as an aerial reconnaissance drone operator in the Donbas conflict following her participation in Ukraine’s 2014 Revolution of Dignity. After returning from the front, she established a free training school to build drone-reconnaissance capacity among Ukrainian military volunteers. She later founded Victory Neurones, a nonprofit focused on cognitive influence and information resilience.

Why they matter

Berlinska bridges frontline drone operations and the information-warfare domain — her work on cognitive influence sits at the intersection of unmanned systems, PSYOP, and the broader contest for battlefield perception that defines modern conflict.
