The Ukrainian admiral announced the restoration of the Cherkasy ship, lost in battles with the Russians.
The Ukrainian Navy will soon have a new ship, the Cherkassy.
Advisor to the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Anton Gerashchenko reports this in his telegram channel.
“The former commander of the ship Cherkasy, and now the Commander of the Naval Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Vice Admiral Alexey Neizhpapa, said that every ship has a soul. In addition, the admiral made an unexpected announcement.
Let us remind you that the minesweeper “Cherkasy” of the Ukrainian Navy resisted the “little green men” on Lake Donuzlav longer than other Ukrainian ships. 48 sailors held the defense for three weeks, until the Russian military captured the ship completely on March 25,” Gerashchenko points out.
Earlier, Vice Admiral Alexei Neizhpapa (pictured center – Ed .) reported on the situation in the Black Sea via videoconference to the Commander of the US Naval Forces in Europe and Africa, Admiral Stuart Munch, and the Commander of the US 6th Fleet, Vice Admiral Eugene Black.
“The main topics of the conversation were a discussion of ways of further cooperation, development and enhancement of the combat capabilities of the Ukrainian Navy to most effectively counter Russian aggression,” the Ukrainian Ukrainian Navy said in a statement.
