In brief

Kyivstar and the Come Back Alive charity are launching a campaign to raise UAH 35 million for ground robots for four Ukrainian defence units. The charity says the machines help evacuate wounded troops and deliver supplies at the front.

The RoboЗБІР campaign aims to fund ground robotic systems for Ukrainian forces, RBC-Ukraine reported, citing a Kyivstar press release. The UAH 35 million figure is a fundraising target.

Organisers plan to buy Maul, Termit 2.0, Poni and Ungeziefer systems for the 1st Separate Medical Battalion, the 47th and 60th Separate Mechanised Brigades and the 125th Separate Heavy Mechanised Brigade.

The campaign forms part of the partners’ “Nam tut zhyty” military support initiative and will support Come Back Alive’s RoboBro project. The charity says ground robots are essential to casualty evacuation and logistics on some sections of the front.

RBC-Ukraine’s report did not specify how many systems would be purchased or when they would be delivered. It did not report completed purchases or deliveries under the campaign.
