Reequipment of Black Sea Fleet (BSF) will be quickened after ratification of BSF agreement, reported Interfax citing Vladimir Vysotsky, Russian Navy Commander-in-Chief.

However, all reformations will be carried out with regard to Ukraine's national interests, added Vysotsky.

Russian State Duma and Ukraine's Supreme Rada Apr 27 ratified documents related to prolongation of BSF deployment in Ukraine up to 2042 with possible further extension for 5 years.

It was previously reported by RIA Novosti referring to the source in Black Sea Fleet HQ that within 5 nearest years BSF would be reinforced with new frigates and diesel submarines.

Black Sea Fleet is an operational-strategic formation of the Russian Navy which primary objective is maintenance of Russia's military security at the Black Sea. Black Sea Fleet HQ is located in Sevastopol. Here are some BSF naval bases: Novorossiysk, Sevastopol, under construction are bases in Novorossiysk and Ochamchira (Abkhazia).
