On the first day of Ukrainian Ambassadors Conference 2025, Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha announced the launch of a fundraiser to purchase rescue robots for evacuating wounded personnel on the frontline. The initiative, aimed at equipping Ukrainian units with life-saving ground robots, was launched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine and UNITED24 – the fundraising platform founded by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

All of Ukraine’s diplomatic missions around the world will join the campaign, together with Ukrainian communities and international partners. 

"Ukrainian diplomacy works every day to strengthen our defense. We are systematically reaching concrete agreements with partners on air defense systems, equipment, ammunition, and investments in our defense industry. Support for defense technologies, including ground-based robotic systems, will help scale unique innovations aimed at saving lives. Diplomacy supports our military and our fundraising efforts — a direct contribution to enhancing our defense capabilities," – Andrii Sybiha, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine. 

Ground-based robots used on the frontline reduce the risk to defenders’ lives by performing tasks in especially dangerous and hard-to-reach areas. This not only boosts operational efficiency but also helps safeguard Ukrainian soldiers from enemy drones and artillery fire.

Funds will be raised for various robot models, including Targan 300, Volya-E, TerMIT, Ardal 920, Ratel H, Zmiy, Bro-1409, Thor 1000/800, and Teslia. 

• Evacuation robots remove wounded personnel from the frontline without putting rescue teams at risk.

• Logistic robot systems are versatile platforms that deliver supplies, ammunition, and equipment to frontline positions. They can also deploy electronic warfare devices and remote video surveillance systems.

• Demining robots assist with reconnaissance, surveillance, and clearing mines. They neutralize booby traps, anti-personnel devices, and anti-tank mines, making paths safe for soldiers and vehicles. Ten Zmiy robots can clear up to 20 hectares daily.

Ground-based robotic systems have become an essential asset in modern warfare, lowering the risk to human lives while providing a new level of technological advantage on the battlefield.

Support this new fundraiser and help save the lives of Ukrainian defenders.
