Greece calls for global maritime ceasefire over attacks on merchant ships On October 29, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis called for a global maritime ceasefire amid increasingly frequent attacks on merchant ships, particularly in the Black Sea. This was reported by Reuters. The Greek Prime Minister stressed that merchant ships should be able to sail safely and freely even during a conflict. "Attacks on civilian merchant ships are completely unacceptable," Mitsotakis said. He added that restrictions on freedom of navigation lead to higher transport and insurance costs, create uncertainty in global markets and ultimately raise prices for consumers.
