According to the report, HMCS Toronto and the Spanish Navy frigate Santa Maria will stay in Odessa for several days after patrolling the Black Sea along with other ships of the Standing NATO Maritime Group.
"During their stay in Odessa, the commanders of the ships will meet with the military officials of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including the Ukrainian Navy and local authorities, and will receive visitors on board their ships during the established visiting hours," the statement reads.
