Ukraine planning to strengthen forces grouping in south of Odesa region
The Ukrainian leadership is planning to increase the Ukrainian Armed Forces' grouping with simultaneous creation of necessary technical and logistical facilities in Odesa region, Ukrainian Defense Minister Stepan Poltorak said.
"The previous military and political leadership made decisions as a result of which there are almost no military units in this region. Our plans include strengthening the grouping, creating the infrastructure and necessary technical and logistical facilities. We already have a military unit in Bolhrad presently, military units were established in Sarat, and a commandant's office will be deployed to Artsyz," the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's press service cited Poltorak as saying during a working visit to the Odesa garrison on Friday.
"Where the army is present, there is development of the region. But first and foremost, it is a guarantee of the security and territorial integrity of our country," he said.
