Ukraine’s defence minister, Rustem Umerov, said: “Corvettes Hetman Ivan Vyhovskyi and [previously launched] Hetman Ivan Mazepa, which were built in Turkey due to Russian aggression, are equipped with cutting-edge weapons and will become a significant addition to our fleet … Ukraine has already broken the dominance of the Russian fleet at sea, destroying dozens of shipse are actively expanding the capabilities of the Ukrainian navy in the Black and Azov seas.” It is unclear when either warship will be able to reach Ukraine, because the Montreux convention generally prohibits warring parties’ battleships from entering or exiting the Black Sea via the Bosphorus, which Turkey controls.
