Ukraine is ready to send its four minehunters docked in Portsmouth, the United Kingdom, to assist a British and French-led mission to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, The Times reported on Tuesday, citing a Ukrainian military source.
According to the report, Kiev is ready to help its allies as much as possible in the Middle East amid fears that US President Donald Trump might side with Russia and turn against Ukraine.
"We are ready to offer everything. There are four minehunters, all in Portsmouth. They can't go to Ukraine because, first of all, they would be target number one, and secondly, because of the Montreux convention," the source said, referring to the 1936 agreement regulating the transit through the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits and allowing Turkey to close the straits for foreign warships at wartime.
