“Next week we will launch another fundraising direction - to accumulate funds for a fleet of marine drones,” Zelensky said, quoted by RIA Novosti.

Kyiv needs maritime drones to protect the country's waters, and "absolutely everyone understands what it is and what it is for," he added.

“Everyone has already seen how it works,” Zelensky says.

Earlier, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan met with the Ukrainian president in Kyiv.
