Alwaght-Ukrainian and American naval forces are taking part in joint maritime drills, dubbed Sea Breeze 2014, which began on Monday in the northwestern part of the Black Sea and will last until September 10. The objective of such military exercises is establishing security and safety in this crisis-torn area for passing non-military ships.
It is noteworthy that monitoring non-military drills, seeking for law-breaking civilian ships, conducting inspection operations and helping vessels in distress are among objectives of their military exercises. In this joint drill, five Ukrainian military ships, airplanes, helicopters, and vessels will take part in.
