KYIV (Reuters) - Ukraine's military will create robotic vehicle units to deploy at the front, the defence minister said on Wednesday, as Kyiv and Moscow vie to gain a technological advantage over their enemy after nearly three years of vicious fighting.

The ministry published a photograph of a robotic vehicle with a gun mounted on it as it made the announcement on the Telegram messenger. Unmanned vehicles - in particular aerial ones - have become a key type of weapon in the war since Russia invaded in 2022.
