Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov shared this in an op-ed on RBC-Ukraine. The Minister noted that robotic systems have become one of the game changers of modern technological warfare. "Currently, more than 200 companies are working on the production of robots, and more than 40 developments are codified according to NATO standards," the official reported.

To launch an open market for UGVs in Ukraine, the government has been actively working to create appropriate procedures, simplify the regulatory framework, and support developers and manufacturers. Fedorov reminded that the first successful robotic mission has already been conducted. The Charter brigade in the Kharkiv area carried out this special operation in early December.
