This Wednesday (26), representatives from Ukraine and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) will meet in Brussels, Belgium, to discuss security in the Black Sea.
The meeting comes shortly after Russia withdrew from the grain agreement and amid a warning issued today by the United Kingdom Ministry of Defense that the Eurasian country may be preparing a naval blockade of Ukraine in the region.

“The positioning of the Russian fleet has been changed since Russia pulled out of the Black Sea grain deal in preparation to impose a blockade on Ukraine,” the ministry said in its daily intelligence bulletin.
“The Sergei Kotov corvette was deployed to the south of the Black Sea, patrolling the shipping route between the Bosphorus and Odesa. There is a realistic possibility that she is part of a task group to intercept commercial vessels that Russia believes are heading to Ukraine,” he added.
In recent days, Russian attacks have targeted Ukrainian food export facilities at ports on the Danube River, near the border with NATO member Romania.
