President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's proposal for expanded high-tech cooperation with Kenya may signal growing ties between Nairobi and Kyiv, but history urges caution.

The real test of the Kenya-Ukraine partnership will be whether it delivers genuine technology transfer or merely creates a new market for foreign-made innovation.
