The Ukrainian experience so far has been a lesson in modern warfare, which has prompted the adaptation of logistics doctrines to its realities. It forced Ukraine and its Western allies to seek innovative solutions to assure continuity between operational, in-service and production logistics in new scenarios, and in new ways. It also demonstrated that shared values and objectives can help overcome many practical logistic problems, and served as a reminder of the importance of nearly forgotten concepts, such as stockpiling. It also reminded us that, besides equipment, the most important asset - including in logistics - is people, their training and their education, and that this is not only the responsibility of the military but of our education systems as a whole. This should incentivise thinking about and taking steps to strengthen our industries and boost our economies over the long term. Lastly, the conflict has demonstrated that coordination and cooperation can work, as well as the benefits of unity.
