“The main task of these drones will be to protect the waters of the Ukrainian seas, as well as peaceful cities, from Russian warships and cruise missiles. The fleet will also help clear corridors for civilian ships transporting grain to the rest of the world,” the Ukrainian government announced. The drones are only there to defend the sea area. “We don’t claim anything that doesn’t belong to us,” said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
