According to him, the main topic was the protection of ports and people who ensure their work every day.

“It is important that there are already ports that demonstrate effective results in the implementation of protection systems. In particular, the creation of mobile air defense groups and other practical solutions that allow maintaining the operation of critical infrastructure even in conditions of constant attacks. Such experience should be scaled up to other ports,” Kuleba emphasized.
