It will be recalled that the coalition was created at the initiative of Great Britain and aims to increase the capabilities of Ukraine at sea in order to ensure the safety of civil shipping.

The members of the coalition will provide Ukraine with ships, equipment, train the boat crew of the sea and river flotillas of the Navy, marines, anti-aircraft defense, mine countermeasures units, etc.
