The Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council Oleksandr Turchynov stated that the new missile systems would help Ukraine to defend in sea waters and would also help to destroy the Kerch Bridge, as BBC News Ukraine reported.
He said that the NSDC is regularly working on enhancement of coast guard of Black and Azov shore. New modernized missile systems will be involved in this regard.
“It will help us not only to effectively counter any landing operations but also eliminate any vessel which is a threat to our state within 300 kilometers even if it is located in a home port,” Turchynov added.
“It won’t be a problem for us to destroy any passage or bridge, in particular, the one which was advertised extensively,” he said.
Turchynov ensured that “Russia’s aggression would not stop the plans to create Navy ship-mounted grouping in Azov Sea”.
“We have to show the whole world that Ukraine has not lost its positions in Azov Sea and this sea where the international law is applied and there might be both Ukrainian and foreign vessels,” NSCD Secretary said.
Earlier, the UN General Assembly supported the resolution “On the issue of militarization of the Crimean Autonomous Republic and Sevastopol (Ukraine) and parts of Black and Azov seas”.
