Ukraine Signed UN Agreement on Ocean Protection: What This Will Change

Ukraine has joined the agreement on ocean protection, marking an important step towards the preservation of oceanic ecosystems and sustainable use of marine resources.

This indicates Ukraine's readiness to collaborate with other nations, even without direct access to the open ocean, for the joint protection of our planet.
