Zelensky assigned an anathema name to a ship under construction in Turkey
The Ada-class corvette being built in Turkey for Ukraine is named after Hetman Ivan Mazepa, who defected to the Swedes.
The corresponding decree of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky was published today on his official website.
“In order to restore the historical traditions of the national army, perpetuate the memory of the outstanding Ukrainian statesman Hetman of the Zaporozhye Army Ivan Mazepa, I decree: To assign the name of Hetman Ivan Mazepa to the Ada class corvette of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and in the future to call this corvette Ivan Mazepa,” notes in the decree.
The laying of the ship took place in 2021 at a shipyard in Istanbul.
