Achievements of the Ukrainian Navy in Modern Warfare
The Ukrainian Navy, with a history spanning over a thousand years, continues to be one of the most crucial components of the country’s defense capability. As noted by Army Inform, military sailors are not only distinguished by their resilience but also effectively destroy the enemy at sea, forcing the adversary to retreat and hide near their own shores.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in his official greeting, emphasized that the Navy warriors protect the country at sea, on land, and in the air. He specifically highlighted that, thanks to the efforts of the naval forces, the Russian landing never appeared in Odesa, the cruiser “Moskva” was destroyed, Snake Island was returned under Ukraine’s control, and 28 Russian ships and one submarine were eliminated or damaged. Furthermore, the “grain corridor” continues to operate and supports food security worldwide.
