Ukraine deploys armed battlefield robots against Russian forces
Ukraine has launched a formal programme to deploy armed ground robots on the frontlines against Russian forces, marking a significant escalation in autonomous battlefield technology. The move comes as a Ukraine-Russia prisoner exchange — 500 soldiers each over two days — stands as one of the few concrete outcomes of stalled peace talks. Ukraine is simultaneously hosting British engineers at undisclosed western Ukrainian facilities to repair donated weapons including British-supplied howitzers.
