Sam Skove covers the Army and Marine Corps for Defense One, where he's broken stories on Swiss munitions sales to Ukraine and the Russian military's use of American Starlink satellite devices. He was previously a freelance journalist in Ukraine, where he covered Russian war crimes, Ukrainian partisans, and the Ukrainian military's use of drones for The New Republic, Foreign Policy, and others.

He will be reporting from Poland on increasingly important Polish, EU, and NATO efforts to train Ukrainian troops following two years of Ukrainian battlefield losses and an ongoing discussion of changes to Ukraine's military draft policies.
