"Constructive cooperation between Ukrainian and Russian navies dynamically develops; scale of the current exercise proves that", said Ukrainian Navy Commander ADM Viktor Maksimov appearing at opening ceremony of the Fairway of Peace-2011 Russian-Ukrainian naval exercise.

According to the admiral, "it is the first time throughout recent years when such considerable force is involved in the Fairway of Peace exercise". As for Maksimov, "considering present-day challenges and threats, we realize the necessity of such exercise. Its main purpose is to maintain peace and stability at southern frontiers of our states".

The admiral expressed hope that commanding officers, crews of ships, marine units, and aviation of both fleets would display high level of qualification and naval skills. Maksimov wished all participants of the Fairway of Peace-2011 exercise robust health, endurance, self-reliance, and effective actions at sea, air and land".
