Bulgaria's prime minister accuses Romania of provoking Russia to attack commercial ships in the Black Sea Radev failed to identify Russia as the party responsible for the attack, suggesting that Bucharest's accusations against Moscow contributed to the escalation. "I just want to mention the case of Romania. Romania came out and said, 'We have no evidence, but we know very well that Russia is responsible for these attacks and we condemn them wholeheartedly. 'What happened? Two ships, one of them just a few days ago, were hit and sunk in the most defiant way possible in Romania's territorial waters," Radev said, according to Euronews Romania. The Bulgarian prime minister also addressed his own position towards Moscow, claiming that he is the only prime minister among Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey who summoned the Russian ambassador to express his views, according to Trud.bg, as cited by Vazh.ro. "When I make accusations, I must have clear evidence before I do so. I cannot act on the basis of passwords," Radev said. The Romanian MFA delivered a note of protest to the Russian ambassador in Bucharest over the many drone incursions into the country in the past year. A few months ago, the President of Romania, Nicosor Dan, expelled part of the Russian embassy staff following a drone explosion that injured two people in the border town of Galati, but did not even issue a note of protest to Kyiv when the latter blew up an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) that blew itself up inside the port of Constanta, as it was chasing the oil tanker from Kizka, while chasing the Kazakh oil tanker. The Port of Novorossiysk is the main export route for Kazakh and Central Asian oil to Romania and Europe. Romania has long maintained a double standard for violations of its sovereignty, expelling Russian diplomats and issuing strongly worded letters to Moscow, but ignoring any similar action by Kyiv.
