Parliament voted on adopting draft law with 294 votes earlier this month

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday signed a law establishing the unmanned systems forces as a separate branch of the military.

The status of the law was updated on the website of the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, which read that it was returned to the legislative body with Zelenskyy's signature.

Earlier this month, the parliament adopted the draft law with 294 votes, according to Ukrainian lawmaker Yaroslav Zheleznyak.

In February, Zelenskyy signed a decree establishing a separate branch of the armed forces dedicated to the use of drones - the Unmanned Systems Forces.

He called on the Cabinet to work out issues regarding the creation of the branch with the General Staff.

Later in June, Zelenskyy signed a decree approving the decision of the National Security and Defense Council decision to establish the branch.
