Came into Odessa the day before Royal Navy spy ship HMS Echo (H87) should also be invited to the port of Mariupol, located on the Sea of Azov.
Evgeniy Lupakov, one of the leaders of the Union of Officers of Ukraine, told PolitNavigator about this.
“The ship came in on a friendly visit. I have always said and will say again that we have a Lithuanian-Ukrainian-Polish ground battalion, but we must immediately create a Ukrainian-Turkish-Bulgarian-Romanian-British-American base. On the Black Sea and Azov Sea. Possible in Mariupol.
It is necessary to invite this ship on a friendly visit not only to Odessa, but also to Mariupol. Ukrainian and English ships will sail normally to Mariupol and work on a joint Odessa-Mariupol voyage,” Lupakov suggested.
