Turkey has called on Russia and Ukraine to suspend their mutual attacks in the Black Sea. This comes against the backdrop of escalating conflicts in the region, which also affect maritime traffic.

In this context, Ankara has proposed a mechanism that would establish a moratorium on attacks on commercial vessels. This could help ensure the safety of crews and the transport of goods.

The appeal has been picked up by both Turkish and international media, emphasizing the urgent need to reduce tensions in the region. Turkey positions itself as a mediator in this conflict.

The announcement comes at a time when the maritime situation in the Black Sea is becoming increasingly complicated, while military activities by both sides are on the rise. A response from the affected states is still pending.
