An "Army of robots" and an "Army of EW" (radio-electronic warfare) will be created in Ukraine, announced Digital Transformation Minister Mykhailo Fedorov during the broadcast at ForbesTech-2023, reports Interfax-Ukraine.

"We will soon launch the 'Army of Robots', 'Army of EW'. We will rely on our ideology – market opening, transparency and the maximum opportunity to attract entrepreneurs who have already created various products, know how to scale products," Fedorov said.
