Briefings
A Romanian MEP stated that European casualties are inevitable following drone strikes on two chemical tankers near the Black Sea coast, which set them ablaze and raised security concerns for Ukraine's shipping route. Nicolae Stefanuta, Co-Chair of the Greens Group, warned that the Danube delta faces a more intense threat from Russia than the Baltic States. The briefing notes that rescuers searched for seven missing sailors on Thursday, but the specific number of casualties remains unknown as the article presents this as a future prediction rather than a confirmed event.
