Russia brings war with drone attacks on the Black Sea to the NATO coast

Last week, two tankers caught fire off the Romanian coast in the Black Sea, injuring at least seven crew members. This incident marks the sixth attack on ships in NATO territorial waters in just ten days, resulting in 23 people missing or dead. Experts suggest that Russia is likely behind these attacks, although Moscow denies involvement. The situation raises questions about whether NATO is in a hybrid conflict or has crossed into direct military engagement. The Black Sea is crucial for both Russia and Ukraine, particularly for grain exports. Additionally, Russia is using gas as a weapon against Eastern European NATO countries. European nations are concerned about escalating violence in the region, fearing it could lead to a broader conflict.
