Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Bulgarian Prime Minister Roumen Radev called for solidarity from European partners ahead of a European Council meeting. He urged the adoption of a moratorium to stop attacks on civilian ships in the Black Sea. Radev noted that four ships had been attacked in Bulgaria’s exclusive economic zone, resulting in two sinkings and loss of life. The Black Sea is described as a strategic corridor for the supply of food, fertilizer, and energy resources for vulnerable areas.

Radev emphasized that millions of people depend on these supplies, particularly in Africa and the Middle East. The push for a moratorium is tied to a call in the draft Council conclusions to halt attacks on civilian vessels.
