Rusia testează limitele NATO prin atacuri asupra navelor civile din Marea Neagră. Cum poate răspunde Alianța

Recent attacks on commercial vessels in the Black Sea by Russian drones have raised concerns about maritime safety near NATO territories. Two ships were struck, with one sinking and another catching fire, leading to injuries among crew members. Bulgaria has called for a coordinated response from the EU and NATO, considering invoking Article 4 of the NATO treaty, which allows for consultations when a member's security is threatened. The incidents highlight the risks to maritime trade, particularly for Ukraine, whose economy relies heavily on shipping. Experts suggest military escorts for commercial vessels as a potential response, though this could escalate tensions with Russia. The situation tests NATO's political and military responses to Russian aggression in the region.
