Ukraine to launch fundraising campaign for marine drones – Zelensky

Ukraine will launch a new fundraising campaign for a fleet of marine drones.

President Volodymyr Zelensky said this in his video address to the nation.

"Next week we will launch another fundraising direction – we will be raising funds for a fleet of marine drones. I think absolutely everyone understands what this is and what it is needed for, and I am sure that millions of people will support this direction in our defense. Everyone has already seen how it works. And this is only for the protection of our maritime area, we claim nothing that does not belong to us," the President said.

As reported, on May 17, President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree to create the United24 national brand to unite the efforts of international partners in support of Ukraine.

The United24 fundraising platform is a so-called "single window" for donations from charitable organizations, international partners and citizens to support Ukraine, in particular, in the following areas: assistance to the Armed Forces, humanitarian, medical and children assistance, infrastructure restoration, digital and information counteraction to armed aggression.
