Sybiha Names Russia as Main Threat to the Black Sea
Published
On International Black Sea Day, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said that Russia has become the greatest threat to the Black Sea. He called on Black Sea states to counter Russia's actions.
The Black Sea is important for many countries. Maritime trade routes pass through it, and large ports, cities, and resorts are located on its coast. Therefore, security in this region concerns not only the states on its shores but also global trade as a whole.
Six countries border the Black Sea: Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, and Turkey. In recent years, relations between some of them have remained tense, and maritime security issues continue to be discussed at the international level.
The material on which this article is based does not include Russia's position on Sybiha's statement. It also does not report on specific measures that Black Sea countries are being asked to take.
The statement was made on a day dedicated to the Black Sea and shows that the situation in the region remains in the spotlight. Further actions by the states of the region are not yet known.
