Ukraine Will Receive Warships to Ensure Safety in Black Sea's Grain Corridor, Zelensky Says
The Kyiv Post ^ | November 25, 2023 | Staff Report

Posted on 11/26/2023 3:30:38 PM PST by Timber Rattler

Speaking at the Grain from Ukraine conference in Kyiv on Saturday, Nov. 25, President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed that partner countries have committed to transferring warships to Ukraine to enhance the safety of vessels navigating the critical "grain corridor" in the Black Sea.

Zelensky hailed the establishment and operation of the "grain corridor" as one of the notable achievements of the year.

"We have reached agreements with our partners and will provide sea escorts to ensure the safety of ships," explained President Zelensky during the conference.

He emphasized that specific agreements for receiving the warships have already been made, making it a near-future reality.

Additionally, President Zelensky highlighted that the Odesa region will receive better protection through the deployment of additional air defense systems, a measure that has been coordinated and agreed upon with Ukraine's international partners.

"A very specific request has already been sent to the partners, and I can say that it has already been agreed. Soon this region will be protected by a very powerful air defense. Not only the ships are important to us, but also the people living there," Zelensky stressed.

With the Muscovite Black Sea Fleet running away from Crimea, new Ukrainian warships supplied by NATO will deal with the so-called "blockade."

Will they come before or after the F-16s?

More of your empty threats

But if Putin is really dumb enough to launch attacks on NATO ships and bring them into the war, have at it!

Send them those LCS littoral crap ships.

Save us the trouble and expense of scrapping or mothballing them.

He’s just trying to get Moscow to attack a NATO ship so the war expands.

A near-future reality? I don't think so. Ships are complicated. The training pipeline takes many months. Then there is sea trials, mobility exercises and other certifications for deployment. Lots of time and lots of infrastructure required. Silly Ukrainians, duped again.

I’m sure Ukrainian warships are just what are needed to calm the situation down.

There are apparently people [and I use the term loosely] on this thread who are dumb enough to believe that The Erdoğan is going to allow NATurd warships to traverse the Bosphorus Strait.

What kind of dope do you Canadian Waffen-SS refugees smoke up there, Hunka?

Romania and Bulgaria both have ports on the Black Sea

Their ships don’t have to go thru Turkey

I’m seeing the word transfer, I interpret that as meaning that if they receive them they will be Ukrainian ships, while some on the thread are posting they would be NATO ships.

LOL - Ukrainians attacked Russian warships. Should Ukraine receive warships (unlikely given the Turkey denial of passage of war vessels into the Black Sea) the Russians will be looking for payback.

Zelensky is fantasizing once again, IMHO.
