Ukraine seeks naval drones to counter Russian attacks from sea

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has backed a fundraising campaign to help Ukraine build a naval drone fleet to protect cities against Russian missiles launched from warships on the Black Sea.

United24, an initiative Zelenskyy launched to raise charitable donations following Russia’s invasion in February, said Ukraine needed 100 drones operating from the sea, each of which costs 10 million hryvnias (around $274,000).
