Turkey launches new Ukrainian warship
Stockholm, August 2 (Hibya) - The Guardian reports that Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska attended the launching ceremony of the new Ukrainian anti-submarine warship Hetman Ivan Vyhovskyi in Turkey.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov said:
“The Hetman Ivan Vyhovskyi, built in Turkey in response to Russian aggression, and the previously launched Hetman Ivan Mazepa corvettes are equipped with state-of-the-art weapons and will be an important addition to our fleet.
It is unclear when both warships will reach Ukraine, as the Montreux Convention generally prohibits warships of warring parties from entering and leaving the Black Sea through the Bosporus Strait, which Turkey controls.
