Ukraine's Battle to Reconstruct its Decimated Navy

Ukraine is facing challenges in rebuilding its navy, which was largely destroyed by Russia. The country is trying to rebuild its sea forces amidst the ongoing war, with the goal of guarding against Russian sea-launched missile strikes and ensuring the safe passage of Ukrainian grain exports. The United States has provided a dozen patrol boats to Ukraine, but Russia still dominates the Black Sea. Russia's control of the sea has allowed it to block Ukraine's grain exports, causing global grain prices to rise. Ukraine scuttled its last major warship to prevent it from being captured by Russia. Despite the challenges, Ukraine remains determined to regain control of its territory and rebuild its navy.
