The evolution of the Naval Forces of Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union was completely determined by the fact of the general insolvency of the Ukrainian state. In 1991, Kiev failed to privatize the entire Black Sea Fleet, and in 1997, when dividing the fleet, Russia took all the ships and boats that were at least of some value, leaving Ukraine with outright scrap metal (most of it was immediately sent to scrap metal, never entering the Navy). That is, in this case, Moscow fully respected its national interests, and Kiev did not even try to do the same. This was the fundamental difference between the two largest post-Soviet countries.
