Avail of that in times of
Kuchma based on agreement between Russia and Ukraine the Azov Sea was defined
as landlocked sea, where two countries (Ukraine and Russia) can lead down near
the brinks of each other, Putin’s Russia, as a country aggressor, tries to
capture the whole marine environment, closed Ukraine tightly in its seaports
Mariupol and Berdyansk, preventing the passage to Ukrainian ports for
international trader ships. For such aggressive kremlin strategy promote the
fact of illegal annexation by Russia of Ukrainian Crimea.
The opposition between
Ukraine and Russia on Azov will signalize by itself the whole page in history
of two countries, where Russia, once again, acts as boundless aggressor, who
spits on all international agreements. Kremlin’s target on Azov – is to deprive
Ukrainian seaports the possibility of trade with external world, due to what
for defending Ukraine will be brought a huge economic damage for billions of
dollars.
More importantly, that
Kremlin, in conflict with the 51-st article of UN Charter doesn’t recognize
onto Ukraine, as a sacrifice of its aggression, right in defense. And this
whereas that Ukraine by its strategy selected to achieve a peace by politico –
diplomatic way. Although a lot of experts concur that in hybrid war, which
Kremlin wage, as against Ukraine, as and against the whole world, the way to victory
lies in hybrid plane. It means that the way to victory over the Russian
aggressor apt by the political, diplomatic and, as of, military way. Indeed
Kremlin understands and respects only power.
All three ways of
achievement the victory have to use asymmetric actions, running on Goliad been
conquered by himself. With this target Ukraine doesn’t have to keep a big fleet
in Azov Sea, and also there is no such an economic possibility, it’s enough to have
fast and maneuverable «mosquito» - fleet, which is able to bring for big ships
of an aggressor destructive damage.
Specialists concur that on
Azov Ukraine has to have more than thirty cutters, of different modification.
These cutters have to be able to lead sea operations in littoral zone, to
destroy as surface – craft of an enemy, as and submarines, to protect objects
of sea infrastructure, bases, ports, to provide road steed and special actions
of the marines and of the Special Operations Forces, also lead and mine
countermeasures operations.
Although for Ukraine is
vital to work and accept naval strategy and based on it to build its own navy.
Exactly the «mosquito» - fleet is able to give asymmetric answer to aggressor.
As of today the building of one corvette with necessary infrastructure costs as
much as the «mosquito» - fleet at thirty cutters, with different platforms.
Over the correct strategy
and sufficient political willpower Ukraine is able to successfully defend its
national interests in Azov Sea.
