96586 - About the role of seas

N. Lygeros

• For Russia, the Baltic Sea was important but the Black Sea is still Crucial.
• The Baltic Sea and Black Sean are tactical seas but the Mediterranean Sea is a strategic one.
• For the Soviet Union, the Black Sea was a Soviet one that’s why it’s so important for Russia even after so many decades.
• The Black Sea is the reason why Georgia, Crimea and Ukraine have been targeted by Russia but it’s not the only one.
• For Russia, Ukraine shouldn’t have access to the Black Sea, that’s why we have to protect this access and not only Ukraine.
• For the theory of Rimland, the Mediterranean Sea is a strategic tool for Russia and a strategic weapon for war.
• The Law of Seas and Oceans is not only due to economics because it’s a strategic one.
