sea

In recent years, the sea has become a strategic front for Ukraine as it contends with regional conflicts and works to secure its maritime approaches. From the strengthening of naval capabilities through international coalitions providing minesweepers and drones, to significant logistics efforts moving 70 million tons of cargo via sea corridors, Ukraine is dynamically engaging in sea operations. There continue to be infrastructural vulnerabilities, such as damaged underwater cables in the Baltic Sea, and complex geopolitical landscapes, exemplified by Russian and Chinese naval exercises and Ukraine's response in the Black Sea and Sea of Azov. The country's focus on modernizing its naval infrastructure, including building new bases and acquiring vessels, underscores the importance of maritime security in Ukraine's national strategy. With NATO's attention pivoting towards Russia's maritime actions, Ukraine plays a pivotal role in regional security dynamics.
