Ukraine has received the mine-countermeasure vessel Alkmaar from the Netherlands, Commander of the Ukrainian Navy Oleksii Neizhpapa reported.

Thank you, Netherlands! 🇳🇱🇺🇦

He added that by the end of the year, Ukrainian Defenders expect to receive another such ship. Crew training is already underway.

The Alkmaar-class vessel is designed to detect and destroy naval mines. It is equipped with remotely operated vehicles for neutralizing them. The ship also has an automatic gun, machine guns, and underwater drones.

Friends,

Winter is coming. Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure will increase.

Russia has ramped up drone production and is changing its attack tactics. There will be blackouts in winter. #Kyiv will be Russia’s main strategic and symbolic target⤵️

Right now, there are two very important areas that Ukraine needs help with:

Felicitaciones, María Corina Machado, por recibir el Premio Nobel de la Paz.

This award honours not only your courage and conviction.

But every voice that refuses to be silenced. In Venezuela and across the world.
