Defensive measures will be enhanced in the ports of Odessa. The focus will also be on staff safety and infrastructure recovery.
This was reported by the Ministry of Community and Territorial Development of Ukraine on Facebook.
"We are strengthening defensive measures in every port. We are implementing additional actions to increase the level of defense capability and security," said Oleksii Kuleba, the Vice Prime Minister for Reconstruction of Ukraine and Minister of Community and Territorial Development.
According to him, additional protection for personnel working in the maritime port area is also necessary, including equipping locations with mobile shelters.
