This year, as part of the quarantine restrictions related to the viral disease pandemic, ceremonial events on the Day of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were held in Odessa in a rather closed format.

However, as every year, the ship-boat composition of the Maritime Guard of the State Border Guard Service joined the celebrations with fellows in the sea according to the plan of the campaign.

A ceremony of raising the flag on the flagship of the Ukrainian fleet, the frigate “Hetman Sahaidachnyi” took place near the berth of the Seaport of Odessa. President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi participated in the ceremony of giving awards to the best representatives of the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

As a token of gratitude for effective cooperation, 13 sailors also received awards from the Regional Department of the Maritime Guard of the State Border Guard Service.

Immediately, the flagship with honored guests on board, including the Head of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine Serhii Deineko, went to sea, where demonstrations of forces and ships of the national fleet with the support of the Marine Guard and special vessels, boats of the Marine Search and Rescue Service were held. The warships and civilian ships demonstrated unity and coordinated interaction in the development of different situations as they do in everyday life and service.

The Navy helicopters carried the state and Navy flags, while two American patrol boats recently received by the State Border Guard Service, and “Podillia” ship of the Maritime Guard, demonstrated the flags of Ukraine, the Navy and the Maritime Guard.

“Balaklava” Marine Guard boat, in a group with small armored boats, played a simulation of repelling an attack by small speed targets, and the naval support vessels, together with the naval search and rescue service, provided assistance to the shipwreck. Meanwhile, paratroopers practiced landing in a designated landing area.

All participants of the action managed to cope well with the task; each element was worked out effectively and safely.
