Russia denies involvement in Black Sea ship incidents
Published
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova stated that there is no evidence of Russian involvement in strikes on ships near the Bulgarian coast. The comment was made during a regular briefing in response to questions regarding security in the Black Sea.
In recent months, tensions in the region have remained high due to the ongoing military conflict in Ukraine. The Black Sea has become a high-risk zone for shipping, which directly affects the economic interests and security of coastal states, including Bulgaria.
Bulgarian authorities are closely monitoring the situation in their maritime territorial waters. The safety of trade routes is of key importance to the country, as the ports in Varna and Burgas are major logistics hubs for international trade.
At this moment, there is no official data from Bulgarian institutions that confirms or refutes the Russian position on the specific incidents. Investigations into cases related to the safety of vessels are ongoing.
The situation in the Black Sea remains complex and dynamic. International observers and NATO countries are expected to continue monitoring compliance with shipping regulations in the region to avoid future incidents.
