The black sea is becoming a Gravitational Center for europes future and is yet another important theater in the great competition us in the peoples republic of china. The war and ukraine is put a spotlight on the region as part of the frontline of this battle against russias aggression. Putin would like Nothing Better than to turn the black sea into a russian lake and its airspace into a nofly zone. Encouragingly recent attacks in crimea have put russias black sea fleet into retreat in the maritime dominance. So much so its not looking for two friends for a new naval base.
