The European Parliament is urging the EU to consider a naval operation in the Black Sea due to increased Russian attacks on commercial vessels. This potential mission aims to safeguard maritime transport and reduce threats to ships and infrastructure near Romania and Bulgaria's coasts. Supported by the European People's Party, the call emphasizes defensive measures to protect citizens and critical infrastructure. The proposal arises amid ongoing Russian assaults on commercial navigation, raising security concerns for EU member states bordering the Black Sea. Discussions include enhancing maritime surveillance, information sharing, and developing drone combat capabilities. Romania and Bulgaria are also establishing a joint maritime security center in the Black Sea with European support.
