A new robotics center has opened at a university in the Russian-occupied city of Donetsk, Ukraine. Ukrainian monitors say the facility is part of a pipeline to supply the Russian military with drones.
The center copies the model of the Alabuga factory in Russia, according to a Ukrainian monitoring group. At Alabuga, students assemble the drones that Russia fires at Ukrainian cities. The new center in Donetsk is expected to perform the same role, training local students to build unmanned aerial vehicles for the war effort.
