Russia and Turkey discuss shipping safety in the Black Sea
The Turkish Ministry of Defense reported recent incidents in the Black Sea. According to the Turkish side, the military discovered and destroyed several unmanned aerial vehicles that were in the sea area, as well as near Istanbul.
The Russian side responded promptly to these events. Representatives of Russia held negotiations with their Turkish partners to discuss the current situation. During the dialogue, the Russian side expressed concern over Ukraine's actions, which, according to Moscow, pose a serious threat to the safety of civilian shipping in the region.
Security in the Black Sea remains an important issue for both countries. The Black Sea straits play a key role in international trade, and any military action in this area attracts close attention from the global community. Turkey, as the country controlling the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits, seeks to maintain stability and prevent the escalation of the conflict.
At the moment, specialists continue to monitor the situation in the water area. The parties are maintaining contact to minimize risks to merchant ships and ensure compliance with safety rules on maritime routes.
