EU Unlikely to Deploy Black Sea Naval Mission Despite Kallas' Backing

The EU's top diplomat Kaja Kallas supports a Black Sea naval mission to protect Ukrainian grain ships from Russian drone attacks, but EU member states lack the resources and political will to launch such an operation beyond their existing Red Sea mission. Air policing is being considered as a more practical alternative to secure shipping corridors.

Byte's take

EU diplomacy outpaces EU firepower: Kallas backs a Black Sea mission nobody can actually launch.
