Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s global donation initiative United24 announced the “Army of Drones” project last week alongside the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the country’s Ministry of Digital Transformation. The project calls for international donors to provide funds that the Ukrainian military will use to purchase drones, as well as direct “dronations” of unmanned aerial vehicles.
