Doesn't Ukraine not have a built up Navy? Who's idea was it to waste all the resources on building a sea wall?

This is the concrete left over from the navy they built. Unfortunately the concrete ships sank the second they left dry dock.

Ukraine had a decent navy until Russia captured or sank most of it. Their flagship was scuttled as well.

Also, concrete ships are a thing. They were popular during WWII due to steel shortages.

Do you have any concrete proof for that last statement?
