This was reported by Vice Admiral Oleksii Neizhpapa, Commander of the Ukrainian Navy, following his meeting with Vice Admiral Rune Andersen, Commander of the Norwegian Joint Forces.
“I held a meeting with Vice Admiral Rune Andersen, Commander of the Joint Forces of the Kingdom of Norway, during his visit to Ukraine… The Kingdom of Norway is making a significant contribution to developing the capabilities of the Navy. In particular, it is providing critically important resources — from modern small boats and mine countermeasure equipment to the training and education of Ukrainian service members. We discussed specific steps that will further strengthen our fleet. We share a common vision of the resources and technologies the Navy needs now and those that will be decisive in the long term,” Neizhpapa said.
