To raise Ukraine’s naval presence on the Azov and the Black Seas, the Interior Ministry is negotiating with a French company to build about 20 coast guard cutters at a Ukrainian shipyard, Interior Minister Arsen Avakov writes on Facebook. Two weeks ago, the Interior Minister received the first two H225 French-made Airbus Helicopters from an order of 55 made last summer. The Ukrainian Sea Guard has about 40 cutters in the 30 to 35-meter range. Last week, the Sea Guard unit at Mariupol received an upgraded high-speed interceptor craft, a Project UMS-1000 PC 12 M-2, according to Jane’s 360 news site.
