Without the Baltic and the Black Sea. As NATO limits the influence of the Russian fleet

He recalled that the Alliance's caution in 2008 did not give Ukraine and Georgia a plan of action on membership, very quickly turned Russia's military aggression against both countries. "When the moving fear of caution closed the NATO door for Ukraine and Georgia in 2008, the Russian Federation quickly answered by attacking both countries. The Russian Federation became a maniac, but some leaders decided then that the best strategy to keep the maniac remained happy.

What involves to leave His potential casualties are unarmed, "Kuleba said at the first Black Sea Conference on the Security of the International Crimean Platform in Bucharest on April 23. The Minister also noted that it supports the integration of Ukraine's air and missing defense systems with allies systems.

NATO Secretary -General Mirce Joan noted that the Black Sea region is at the Center for the Rapan between Global Forces, is of key importance for regional security and that is why it is strategic weight for the entire Euro -Atlantic security system. "The Black Sea region has been the object of military extension of Russia for over two decades. The illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the capture of part of the Donbass were only the beginning.

But these events also had an impact on Western Balkans, our friends in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in Georgia And in Moldova. Russia's irresponsible and hostile behavior in the wider Black Sea region is deeply striking the safety of all alliance, "said NATO Secretary General. Instead, the Romanian Foreign Minister Bogdan Aursko stated that the country would promote within the Alliance to establish a permanent fleet in the sea.

The expert of the Center for Globalism Strategy of the XXI Pavlo Lakichuk explains that the NATO Sea means the creation of such conditions under which Russia would be limited in the possibility of geopolitical pressure in the region. "Until 2023, the Gulf and the Baltic Sea were partly" Russian lake ", where Russia tried to dictate the conditions.

NATO was more serious about its security in the Baltic region, supporting the Alliance Member States, Baltic States, Poland, including holding the key to the Baltic ducts in their hands. After Finland's accession to NATO, the Russians have stuck there and the threat from them decreased significantly, "he says. Despite the fact that there are three NATO member states in the Black Sea-Romania, Turkey and Bulgaria, the Alliance still has no official strategy on the Black Sea region.

Frankly, the Alliance has never demonstrated interest in the strategic value of the Black Sea basin. Only in the NATO Strategic Concept, 2030 - a document approved at the Madrid Summit in July 2022, was first mentioned about interest in the region, given the Euro -Atlantic security.

It should be noted that in the previous ten -year strategic concept in the Alliance insisted on the development of relations with Russia, Mediterranean dialogue and dialogue with the Balkan countries, the Middle East, Ukraine and Georgia. The Black Sea was not mentioned. "On the Black Sea, NATO has expanded much more cautious and even the entry of Bulgaria and Romania to the North Atlantic Alliance has not led to the balance of forces in the region.

In fact, NATO determined its borders on the Black Sea coast. It was a big mistake that was understood in more than 15 years. Only now are they trying to somehow align this situation. It was not partnership for peace with Russia, "says Lakichuk. Among the Black Sea Alliance Member States, Turkey has the most powerful fleet. 66 ships and 14 submarines are armed with Turkish Navy. It is worth noting the latest Hibeliad Corvets, which have launchers with Garpoon rockets on board.

In addition, the country conducts a program of modernization and re -equipment of the fleet. Romania has three frigates, four Corvette ships and rocket launchers of Soviet projects. The Navy of the Bulgaria Navy is made up of outdated Soviet rocket launchers and three frigates that once belonged to the Belgian Fleet. NATO's ships are limited in the Black Sea of ​​Montre's 1936 Convention.

The document establishes a stay in the Black Sea with warships and boats of the Black Sea states for a period of not more than 21 days. In addition, the Convention gives the right to block the Bosphorus and Dardanelles straits for warships in the event of a war or a military threat.

The Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Federation, despite the loss of the flagship - the missile cruiser "Moscow", still has a powerful composition that includes missile ships and boats, landing ships, as well as submarines capable of carrying rocket weapons. Pavel Lakichuk claims that the future of the Safety System in the Black Sea still depends on the results of the Russian-Ukrainian war. If Russia is driven into an angle, it can be demanding demilitarization in the Black Sea region.

Then there will be no need to maintain powerful naval formations in this, by and large, the dead end of Europe. If Russia remains in the Black Sea, as an aggressive player, then the only way out is to arm yourself so that Russian ships are scared to get out of their ports to the Black Sea. "So there are two ways to make the Russian lake from the Russian Lake.

The first is to strengthen the influence of the North Atlantic Alliance as an international organization and its Member States, in the Black Sea region. At the expense of Moldova, Ukraine maybe Georgia. If Russia remains alone when the Ukrainian sea is released, it will be easier to drive a bear. Personally, my opinion is that after the end of the war and the defeat And explosive, " - says the expert.

He reminds that Russia, as the successor of the USSR, has long been trying to turn the Black Sea into its "Russian lake". This is the old Russian tradition - to call the Black Sea the Russian Lake, from the time when the Russian Empire has dreamed of the capture of Constantinople and its domination in the Black Sea region. Even now, Russia continues to use the Black Sea, as its own, aggressively demonstrating intentions to protect the annexed Crimean peninsula.

On March 14, 2023, it became known about the beating of the American multi-purpose MQ-9 Reaper over the Black Sea. The incident occurred in international waters with the participation of Russian Su-27 fighter jets. As a result, the drone fell and sank. It is known that one of the fighters intentionally dropped the fuel in front of the American drone, in turn the other - made a maneuver, which damaged the propeller.
