This is GPS, the Global Public Square. Welcome to all of you in the United States and

around the world. I'm Farid Zakaria.

Today on the program, Ukraine's counteroffensive, it is being hard fought on the ground but also

0:20.2

from the air, with thousands upon thousands of drones. I'll talk to Eric Schmidt, the

0:26.2

former CEO of Google about the technologies Ukraine will need to win this war. Then what is
