We will never allow anyone to destroy the Black Sea security system. And our state goal is to regularly increase your power. We know how in recent years, in many senses of the word, the Naval Forces of Ukraine tried to destroy and drown. I will not just not allow this. I will do everything for the Ukrainian fleet to be a model of power, modernity and true pride of Ukraine. So that we are a sea power not in the distant memories of the past, but in the real present and near future
