Ursula von der Leyen announced a €50 million EU funding for a maritime security center in the Black Sea during her visit to Bulgaria. The center, managed by Romania and Bulgaria, aims to enhance maritime surveillance and information sharing, becoming operational by 2027. Von der Leyen emphasized the urgency of the project amid rising attacks on commercial vessels, which she attributed to Russia. Bulgarian Prime Minister Rumen Radev expressed limited support for Ukraine, citing Bulgaria's financial constraints, and called for concrete evidence regarding the attacks.
