After resignation
In the first interview after his resignation, he stated that he would remain involved in politics and will continue to promote the continuance and implementation of reforms.
On 31 August 2020, the Atlantic Council's Eurasia Centre announced that Honcharuk would be joining them as a distinguished fellow. In September 2020, Honcharuk left for the United States, claiming he sought to improve American policy on Ukraine and Ukraine–United States relations.
In 2021, Honcharuk began working as a Bernard and Susan Liautaud Visiting Fellow at FSI Stanford University.
Two months before Russia’s full-scale invasion, he returned to Ukraine.
Following the invasion, he became Chair of the Supervisory Board of the NGO Aerorozvidka, where he oversaw the deployment of the DELTA IT system and a nationwide network of situational centres. These efforts formed the foundation for the implementation of ISTAR situational awareness capabilities within the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In his role as adviser to Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, he led the development and rollout of the Drone ID drone identification system.
In 2024–2025, he was an adviser to the Commander of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces.
Since December 2025, Honcharuk has served as a Visiting Fellow at the London School of Economics. Commenting on the appointment, he noted: “The work is remote, of course. While the war continues, my focus is 110% on Ukraine.”
“LSE IDEAS is delighted to host Oleksiy Honcharuk as a Visiting Fellow, and we are confident he will make a significant contribution to our understanding and work on Ukraine,” said Chris Alden, Director of LSE IDEAS.
Within his collaboration with LSE, Honcharuk is developing the concept of a new battlefield domain — the Time Domain — which emerged from his analysis of drone warfare during Ukraine’s defence. Since December 2025, he has also served as Chair of the Expert Council of the 412th Unmanned Systems Brigade Nemesis.
