On the occasion of Ukrainian Navy Day, President Volodymyr Zelensky congratulated the Navy’s servicemen and emphasized that the Ukrainian Navy has proven to the whole world that strength is not always measured by the number of ships or resources.

According to Ukrinform, Zelensky wrote about this on Facebook.

“Thank you to all our sailors, marines, ship crews, coastal units, and everyone who serves in the Navy. It is thanks to your courage that our maritime space remains under Ukrainian control, the southern regions are protected from Russian attacks, and the marines, together with other units of the Defense Forces, are holding back the occupier on the toughest sections of the front,” Zelensky said.

According to him, the Ukrainian Navy has proven to the whole world that strength is not always measured by the number of ships or resources.

“Professionalism, determination, and dedication to our country have yielded results that all of Ukraine is proud of. We will continue to strengthen our fleet, the Marine Corps, and all capabilities of the Navy.
