Zelensky was offered to demilitarize the cruiser "Ukraine"

Poltorak said that the cruiser at the moment "is in such a condition that the weapons and equipment are not suitable for use."

“The tasks assigned to this cruiser are to escort air strikes over long distances. There are no such tasks in Ukraine, therefore we consider it inexpedient to use it as a cruiser and we propose to consider the possibility of demilitarizing it, ”UNIAN quotes the head of the defense department.

In October 2018, Secretary of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security and Defense, People's Deputy Ivan Vinnik explained why it was impossible to complete the construction of the missile cruiser “Ukraine”.
