“I emphasize: we will increase the pace and volume of construction of ships of various projects, equip them with the most modern weapons, conduct operational and combat training for sailors, taking into account the experience gained, including during a special military operation,” he said.

Putin noted that Russia will do everything necessary to protect its interests in the oceans.
