The Sea King was a helicopter used by the British Navy until 2018. In 2023, helicopters arrived in Ukraine to search and rescue people in the marine area. According to the prime minister of Ukraine, the received Sea King is located near the Black Ssa. Everyone knows that the Russian occupiers have seized Ukrainian waters and fired missiles from this point. Also, the Odesa, Mykolaiv, and Kherson regions suffer from the shelling of occupiers on the Black Sea's shores.
With a new aircraft, the army of Ukraine will strengthen its positions to protect people and put an enemy out of its waters. In addition, such military assistance proves the deepening of interstate relations. The defence minister of Ukraine Reznikov reports it.
"The Sea King from the UK came to his new Kingdom near the Black sea in Ukraine. Together, we will secure the seas and lands across all of Europe," Reznikov said on Twitter.
The United Kingdom also handed over winter gear to the Ukrainian defenders: insulated tents, sleeping bags, clothes, 900 generators, etc.
