Foreign media have estimated that the Ukrainian Navy, with the help of foreign partners, has already received more than 90 units of vessels since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in 2022.

Thus, over the years, partners have transferred a significant number of boats, speedboats and several ships to Ukraine in the form of military assistance. In particular, Estonia transferred NAVY 18 WP patrol boats, the USA, Sweden, the Netherlands and Finland provided landing craft.
The United Kingdom transferred two former minesweepers of the Royal Navy, two more minesweepers will be transferred by the Netherlands and one by Belgium. However, according to the Montreux Convention, they can enter the Black Sea only after the end of the war.
In addition, Ukraine is waiting for the completion of the construction of two modern Ada-type corvettes, the contract for the construction of which was signed back in 2020.
The Guardian notes that the boats protect Ukraine from air threats – the crews shoot down Russian-launched drones and missiles in the Black Sea. The equipment is also used to protect the sea corridor and exports from Ukrainian ports.
Earlier it became known that the Netherlands withdrew from the fleet a minesweeper, which will replenish the Ukrainian Navy.
