Ukraine is developing a new naval strategy, which will soon be approved by Ukraine’s National Security and Defence Council (NSDC).
Source: President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in his evening address
Quote: “We are developing a new strategy for our country on the sea – the Ukrainian Naval Strategy. Soon this strategy will be approved by the NSDC – its points are being finalised.
We clearly understand that the war has changed the balance of power in our entire Black Sea region, and the Russian fleet will never again dominate this area. We are consolidating our interests, considering Ukraine’s new technological capabilities and our new relations with partners.
Ukraine will always be a state able to protect its own interests at sea, crucial transport routes, and the interests of our allies and partners.”
Details: Furthermore, Zelenskyy thanked the soldiers who ensure that Ukrainian drones strike Russian territory.
“The Russian state must feel the consequences of its actions against our nation and people, and this response is now evident to it. Ukrainian drones have become a global brand,” he said.

“Ukrainian drones have become a global brand,”
That’s a fact. Not only the drones, but also the software in the drones, the operator’s console, and the EW.
In recent months, several countries have pledged to supply quite a substantial number of smaller vessels.
I guess these boats could play a part in this new naval strategy.

On the subject of naval vessels:
Patrol boats supplied by the United States have been deployed on the Dnieper River to defend the capital, Kyiv, from rocket and drone attacks.

Yes, and maybe those boats will be used to do something on the left bank.
