Russia’s Militarization of The Black Sea Region: Implications for the US and NATO
Event Overview
For many years, Russia’s strategic worldview has placed considerable importance on militarizing the Black Sea Region (BSR). Russia’s occupation of Crimea and full-scale invasion of Ukraine have only exacerbated this threat. Russia’s ongoing activity in the BSR has serious implications for the United States, NATO, and European security. In response, the West must develop a comprehensive strategy for securing the long-term future of the BSR.
