Blackwater founder Erik Prince is back—this time in Ukraine. Reports reveal Prince is pitching to buy Ukrainian drone firms and return as a player in a potential postwar defence setup. He had earlier offered to deploy a private army in the Donbas. Now, with drones dominating Ukraine’s battlefield, Prince is eyeing a new opening. The U.S. is also reportedly discussing using private military contractors postwar—to build fortifications and avoid deploying troops. Is this a strategic move, or a return of mercenary profiteering?
