‘During the maritime search and rescue training operation, UkSATSE units ensured fulfilment of all the assigned tasks in accordance with the legislative acts of Ukraine and were awarded the top preliminary assessment. This exercise has once again demonstrated the ability of Ukraine to attain a high level of commitment to provide air navigation services in the international airspace over the High Seas and efficient search and rescue services in the handling of accidents in this airspace,’ said Ruslan HUTSAN, UkSATSE Deputy Director, Operations.
