Dear Vladimir,
Delighted to see you mentioned in Seaways this month for your efforts to encourage membership of the NI. Considering all the threatening influences in your country, it is so special that you are able to keep the link going.
We send our warmest best wishes and hope for an more settled future.
Vladimir Torskiy is a true Champion in all respects and not just for The Nautical Institute. It is fitting that he is given this recognition, amongst many others, as the Nautical Institute of the Ukraine reaches its 25th Anniversary and still functions smoothly despite the war started and continued by Russia. I remember well my work with Vladimir to bring the NIU into being and my various visits to the Ukraine with pleasure.
