"In the past 10 days, nine ships have been attacked most likely by Russia, part of its escalation in the conflict with Ukraine, wanting as much as possible to disrupt the flow of supplies to Ukraine."
"It's now starting to involve NATO countries, namely Romania, Bulgaria, and also Turkey, which ships have been hit with a loss of lives."
"The concern isn't just the attacks themselves. It's the risk that incidents near NATO territory could draw more countries into the crisis."
The call
"One miscalculation at sea could turn a conflict into a much wider regional crisis."
