The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, met with the leadership and officers of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during a working trip to Odesa.
According to Ukrinform, Syrskyi wrote about this on Facebook.
"The Black Sea operational zone is one of the components of the theater of operations where the Defense Forces of Ukraine dictate their terms to the Russian invaders, thwart the aggressor's plans, and carry out their own active operations. The presence of the Russian fleet in the Black and Azov Seas has been practically neutralized," Syrskyi noted.
According to him, the Ukrainian Navy is now a key element in ensuring defense capability and security in the Black Sea region.
The Commander-in-Chief heard reports from the Commander of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Vice Admiral Oleksii Neizhpapa, and other officials on the situation in the Black Sea operational zone, as well as on strengthening the security of sea routes and ports. The focus was on protecting the southern borders and increasing the ability to operate effectively at sea.
