 “We welcome this week’s ship visits by NATO allies Canada and Spain supporting our Ukrainian partners,” the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine posted on Twitter.

As reported, the Royal Canadian Navy frigate HMCS Toronto (FFH 333) and the Spanish Navy frigate Santa Maria (F-81) entered the port of Odesa on April 1.

In addition, on April 1, the frigate HNLMS Evertsen (the Netherlands), the frigate TCG Yildirim (Turkey), the frigate BGS DRAZKI (Bulgaria) and the frigate ROS Regele Ferdinand (Romania) entered the port of Poti in Georgia.

NATO ships will stay in the port of Poti until April 4 and will take part in the naval exercises together with the Coast Guard Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia.

The experts consider such a large presence an unprecedented fact.
