Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko has said that Turkey has handed five mobile military hospitals to Ukraine, which will be sent to the anti-terrorist operation (ATO) zone.

"I want to report the transfer of five mobile hospitals. You know that before this, we received them from the U.S., Australia and Canada. At the moment, it is very important that we have received the first five hospitals from Turkey," he said during the visit to the flagship of the Ukrainian Naval Forces Hetman Sahaidachny frigate that takes part in the common training with the Naval Forces of Turkey in the Sea of Marmara.

The hospitals will be relocated to the sectors of responsibility in the ATO area after the return of Hetman Sahaidachny frigate to Ukraine, Poroshenko said.
