Ursula von der Leyen, avertisment după atacurile asupra navelor comerciale din Marea Neagră: „Situația este tot mai îngrijorătoare”

Ursula von der Leyen, the President of the European Commission, expressed growing concern over the situation in the Black Sea following recent attacks on commercial vessels. Two ships were struck in Bulgaria's economic zone, just a day after a Turkish ship carrying Ukrainian grain was sunk off Romania's coast. Von der Leyen highlighted the increasing targeting of commercial ships and their crews, leading to loss of life at sea. She condemned the attacks on civilian shipping as unacceptable and reaffirmed solidarity with Eastern member states. The exact circumstances of these incidents are still under investigation, prompting urgent meetings among Bulgarian officials.
