On Tuesday, July 21, Eugenia Gusilov discussed on TVR News with Catalin Deacu the attack on the vessel Gas Lisbon, which was transporting LPG to the port of Reni in Ukraine. As the war enters its fifth year with a clear maritime dimension, an increase in such incidents is expected. On a positive note, Romania has taken steps to close legislative loopholes, providing the Ministry of National Defense and the Naval Forces with a more solid operational base to protect critical infrastructure in the Exclusive Economic Zone. As the Naval Forces acquire more modern capabilities, more proactive reactions are expected in similar future situations.
