Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) Oleksandr Turchynov says that the government is serious about creating an effective Global Navigation Satellite System / Global Positioning Satellite surveying system in Ukraine.

"GNSS/GPS surveying is a serious direction we are working on," Turchynov said.

In particular, the point at issue is an efficient system that enables to zoom in those fragments of territory in real-time mode that are of interest to both our military and intelligence.
