- Bulgarian PM condemned a drone attack on two ships as a 'flagrant' breach of maritime law, framing the strike as a violation of international law
- Zelenskyy blamed Russia for the attack on Bulgarian vessels in the Black Sea and warned of a looming 'massive strike,' with one ship reported sunk in NATO waters
Why it matters: This incident pulls a NATO member (Bulgaria) directly into the maritime dimension of the Russia-Ukraine war, with at least one Bulgarian ship reportedly sunk in NATO waters. The PM's 'flagrant breach of maritime law' framing elevates the strike from battlefield news into a diplomatic-legal confrontation involving an alliance state.
