A Trade Corridor Through Waters Where Ships Are Sinking
The EU wants more trade through the Middle Corridor, which DW reports could bring big benefits for Bulgaria. The risk side is not hypothetical: DW notes that drone attacks on commercial ships off the Bulgarian coast are a stark reminder of the security stakes, and reports that two ships have sunk off the coast of Bulgaria and Romania after drone attacks in recent days.

Bulgaria has held back on pointing the finger at Russia after the attacks, DW reports, leaving the question of responsibility in the Black Sea open.
Take
Reticence is itself a position. A trade corridor is only as useful as the ships that can cross it, and the route Bulgaria hopes to profit from runs through water where commercial vessels are being hit.
