Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed to intensify efforts to retake land occupied by Russia in the south of the country.
On a visit to the port city of Odessa, he said in a video message: "Together we will win. The Ukrainian coasts will never tolerate these occupiers."
He added: "The enemy will definitely not dictate conditions in the Black Sea.
"The occupiers will be worried about approaching our Ukrainian Crimea and our coast on the Sea of Azov."
The Crimean peninsula was annexed by Russia in 2014 but is recognized internationally as Ukrainian, while cities on the Sea of Azov have been invaded by Russian troops over the course of the 16-month war.
Zelensky visited military commanders in Odessa and injured soldiers in hospital.
