Ukraine is building an “Army of Drones” that will focus on surveillance on the front lines of its ongoing war against Russia, which is now in its fifth month.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s global donation initiative United24 announced the “Army of Drones” project last week. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the country’s Ministry of Digital Transformation are part of the project, which calls for international donors to provide funds that the Ukrainian military will use to purchase drones.

Ukraine is also accepting direct “dronations” of unmanned aerial vehicles.

Ukraine’s Minister of Digital Transformation and Vice Prime Minister Mykhailo Fedorov wrote on Twitter that around 200 million Ukrainian hryvnia, which is more than $6.7 million, had already been donated to the project. “Dozens” of drones have also been donated.

The Ukrainian army also purchased at least two unmanned “Warmate” systems. These are drones that can be equipped with high explosives for kamikaze-style attacks.

“First batch of your drones has arrived to the frontline,” Fedorov added in a tweet on Thursday. “Now they will serve as real soldiers within world’s first Army of Drones. Every such ‘dronation’ saves lives and getting Ukrainian victory closer.”

Justin Bronk of the U.K.’s Royal United Services Institute told the BBC that both Russia and Ukraine were using drones to “very rapidly exploit” real-time images during the war.

Ukraine hopes to purchase “200 tactical unmanned aerial reconnaissance vehicles” that will “constantly monitor the front line and identify the aggressor’s positions” as part of the “Army of Drones” project. The donations given towards the project will also be used to fund maintenance and pilot training.

Ukrainian military is also accepting “dronations” of commercial drones at warehouses located in the US and Poland.

“It doesn’t matter if your drone is new or old, it just has to be in working order,” reads a call for donations posted to the United24 website.

“Every drone saves lives and brings our victory closer,” Fedorov says in a video shared on the site. “We will buy the drone ourselves, or give us yours—dronate it! This is a war of technology.”

“Our IT Army dominates on the cyber frontline against Russia every day, and this Army of Drones will accelerate our victory on the real battlefield,” the post read.
