A OTAN diz que fará ‘tudo e qualquer coisa’ se a aliança for atacada.

NATO, along with Bulgaria and Romania, has not directly attributed the recent spate of attacks to any country. Military analysts have said Russia almost certainly carried out the attacks but Moscow has not acknowledged any responsibility.

In an attack on October 5, Romania reported two people dead after their ship caught fire and sank in Black Sea waters. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused Moscow of being responsible.

The announcement came after NATO’s main decision-making body, the North Atlantic Council, discussed security in the Black Sea at the alliance’s Brussels headquarters.

?Dangerous and unacceptable’ escalation.

A principal diplomata da União Europeia, Kaja Kallas, disse na terça‑feira que “seis ataques em 10 dias por drones suspeitos russos marcam uma escalada perigosa e inaceitável”, acrescentando que o Kremlin provavelmente tentou cortar a receita de Kyiv proveniente das exportações de grãos.

Kallas warned that the latest strikes were adding to a “perfect storm” facing global food supplies already being battered by droughts in multiple regions and the war in the Middle East.

Last week, seven sailors were reported missing after drones struck two chemical tankers near Romania’s Black Sea coast, setting them ablaze and raising fresh security concerns along a vital shipping route used by Ukraine.

At least five other cargo vessels were hit near the coasts of Romania and neighbouring NATO member Bulgaria over the previous 10 days, with at least 23 sailors reported missing or dead.
