Sybiha: Russia's attacks threaten security in the Black Sea
Kyiv, July 21 (Hibya) - Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said the attack on the LPG tanker Gas Lisbon, which was heading to Ukraine off the coast of Romania, threatens freedom of navigation and regional stability in the Black Sea, calling for increased pressure on Russia.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha issued a statement regarding the attack on the LPG tanker Gas Lisbon, which was en route to Ukraine off the Romanian coast.
Sybiha stated that Russia's war against Ukraine threatens not only his country but also freedom of navigation in the Black Sea, maritime security, and NATO's eastern flank.
He said Russia deliberately attacked the LPG tanker Gas Lisbon near the Romanian coast while it was sailing to Ukraine. Civilian crew members were injured in the attack, and the security of maritime traffic in the Black Sea was jeopardized.
Thanking Romania for its swift rescue efforts and continued support for Ukraine, Sybiha said, "Russia's reckless actions threaten the security of the entire Black Sea region."
Emphasizing Ukraine's determination to deepen cooperation with Romania and other partners to strengthen Black Sea security, Sybiha stated: "The response must match the scale of the threat. Stronger sanctions, increased pressure on Russia, and full accountability for every act of aggression are required. The aggressor must be forced to end its war."
