KIEV, Aug. 19 – Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Yezhel has said he hopes for the return of five lighthouses of the Russian Black Sea Fleet (BSF) to the ownership of Ukraine's state enterprise Derzhhydrographia, according to News 24 TV Channel.

"When you come into the territorial waters of the state, where it is responsible for all activities, I think it is absurd that they [the lighthouses] belong to another state. I believe that all the [lighthouses] must be owned by our country," Yezhel said.
