During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the frigate Hetman Sahaidachny was scuttled by her crew and some one dozen or more other ships were reported captured or destroyed. In June 2022, the Navy announced that a number of boats had been mobilised, equipped for military needs and inducted into their newly announced river flotilla of 19 vessels; at least 8 vessels not previously known to be in the Navy were shown in the accompanying videos (one of which was previously a pleasure boat). Along with these 8 were 2 unidentified RIBs (which may have been pre-existing Navy vessels), 1 unidentified harbor patrol vessel and 1 other unidentified vessel. The 8 identified vessels are listed below, although it is possible that the 2 PO-2 boats among them were pre-existing Navy vessels which had their pennant numbers painted over. A subsequent video announcing the inclusion of a SHERP the Shuttle landing craft in the flotilla showed at least 2 more unidentified harbor patrol vessels.
