Today’s lethal attack on a commercial vessel just 13 NM off Constanța - killing one sailor and injuring others - is a blatant violation of international law and freedom of navigation.

Condolences to the victim’s family as Romanian Coast Guard rescue operations continue.

Russia’s illegal war of aggression against Ukraine is escalating and this directly affects merchant marine navigation in the Black Sea. This is a direct threat to both regional and global security.

​We are coordinating closely with #NATO Allies, including Bulgaria and Türkiye, to fast-track the additional surveillance capabilities agreed at the Oct 20 NAC.
