Ukraine President Signs New Maritime Security Strategy

Ukraine's new Maritime Security Strategy focuses on renewable energy projects, such as hydrogen, and the development of maritime infrastructure. President Zelensky signed a decree to implement this strategy, emphasizing the need for security in maritime spaces and sea routes amid Russian aggression. Despite challenges on land, Ukraine's success at sea is notable, with the ability to destroy Russian warships using missiles and drones. Putin's recent naval activities, including a flotilla visit to Cuba, aim to escalate tensions with the West but have not swayed Western support for Ukraine. The Strategy aims to enhance defense capabilities, ensure sustainability, promote development, and strengthen international cooperation for Ukraine's maritime security and sovereignty.
