Costa: Attacks off EU coasts in the Black Sea must stop
Brussels, October 23 (Hibya) - European Council President António Costa expressed full solidarity with Romania following an attack on a vessel off its coast, calling for an end to the increasing attacks near the coastlines of European Union (EU) member states in the Black Sea.
European Council President António Costa said in a social media statement that the EU stood in solidarity with Romania following an attack on a vessel off the Romanian coast earlier in the morning.
Costa extended his condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the attack and praised the search and rescue efforts of the Romanian Coast Guard.
Noting that attacks off the coastlines of European Union member states in the Black Sea have increased as a consequence of Russia's war against Ukraine, Costa stressed that such attacks are unacceptable and must end.
Costa emphasized that the European Union maintains a united stance against Russia's war on Ukraine and its increasingly aggressive hybrid activities.
