On October 17, 1917, the 2nd rank Captain Ye.Akimov was appointed the representative of the Central Council of Ukraine at the command of the Black Sea Fleet. In November 1917, the Sahaidachny Sea Battalion (kurin) was established in Sevastopol, which, on November 24, 1917, was sent to Kiev and participated in the Kiev Arsenal January Uprising. On December 29, 1917, most of the Black Sea Fleet sided with the Bolsheviks. Earlier, in December 1917, the Ukrainian squadron led by the Russian battleship Imperator Aleksandr III, including another cruiser and three destroyers, participated in the evacuation of the 127th Infantry Division from Trebizond back to Ukraine.
List of captured ships of the Ukrainian Navy[1][2] (at least 100 vessels). On 8 April 2014, an agreement had been reached between Russia and Ukraine to return captured vessels to Ukraine and "for the withdrawal of an undisclosed number of Ukrainian aircraft seized in Crimea".[3] At the time, Russian naval sources claimed that the Ukrainian ships were "not operational because they are old, obsolete, and in poor condition".[3] Four combatant ships (a Grisha corvette, a Polnocny small landing ship, a Yevgenya minesweeper, and a Matka ex-missile boat) and 31 various auxiliary vessels were returned to Ukraine by June 2014 at the latest;[4][5] at least 9 vessels were not returned, but scrapped. All vessels returned were in service at their time of capture; all but one of the vessels (U926) confirmed to have been scrapped were decommissioned at their time of capture.

Vinnytsia was returned to Ukraine on 19 April 2014[8] and subsequently retired from service (see below). Lutsk and Ternopil were scheduled to be handed back to Ukraine in May 2014, but this never materialized at the time due to souring relations between the two countries. Both ships were described in 2018 as being in "poor condition" due to negligence. Putin stated that the ships were already in this condition when acquired[9][10] Prior to retirement from service, Vinnytsia converted to training ship in 2018; subsequent to its retirement, sunk at moorings – seemingly after being damaged by Russia on February 24, 2022 (see below) | |
