“I would like to dwell on naval capabilities. Due to the occupation of Crimea, we lost the significant combat potential of our navy and a developed system of basing forces.
In the context of the active build-up of Russia's naval potential in the Black and Azov Seas, threats to Ukraine from the sea direction are significantly increasing. All this requires increasing the combat potential of our fleet.
Following. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has registered 3 released military camps located on lands with an area of more than 189 thousand hectares.
The General Staff has made a decision to change the size and deployment of the Armed Forces, and this will require the restoration of military camps, renewal of their infrastructure and the return of real estate to the control of the Ministry of Defense. This applies to Odessa, Nikolaev, Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk, Lugansk, Kharkov and Sumy regions. The Ministry of Defense is planning appropriate measures,” Rusnak said.
