"Earlier in the war, Ukraine launched the Brave1 Market, a first-of-its-kind program that awards "ePoints" to soldiers for killing Russian troops or destroying their equipment and verifying the successful hit by uploading drone footage to a military network. The Ukrainian soldiers can use the reward points to buy drones, robots, electronic warfare devices, and other defense technology and systems from an online marketplace. Each Russian target has its own value; killing a soldier might be worth a dozen points while destroying a tank may be worth as many as 40. Wounding or damaging a target yields fewer points."
"Mykhailo Fedorov, the first deputy prime minister of Ukraine and its minister of digital transformation, said that the new incentive will begin within a month and fall under guidance from President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. "We are already tracking and incentivizing logistics," Fedorov said in an interview, speaking through a translator and confirming the future rollout of the new points feature."
An online marketplace awards "ePoints" to soldiers for killing Russian troops or destroying their equipment after uploading drone footage for verification. ePoints can be redeemed for drones, robots, electronic-warfare devices, and other defense systems sold directly by manufacturers, enabling frontline delivery within days and bypassing government supply chains. Each Russian target carries a specific point value, with kills and destroyed tanks worth the most. A new feature will reward significantly more points for evacuating wounded comrades using ground robots, with the rollout slated within a month under presidential guidance and tracking of logistics already in place.
