Could Ukraine field a modern CSS Alabama?

Is there a legal barrier to Ukraine operating a commerce raider like CSS Alabama?

The panel suggests theoretical room for such a vessel, while judging the diplomatic, insurance, transit, and arms-transfer complications a serious obstacle.

The panel considers a Ukrainian commerce raider in the tradition of CSS Alabama and gives a qualified theoretical answer rather than a legal determination. The objections concern the consequences for international support. Operations that affect shipping insurance and passage through straits could create diplomatic problems, as could obtaining and arming the vessel. In this assessment, those costs could outweigh the benefit of the raiding campaign.
