9 个月Talk-Talk is good & needed YES! ?But progress is too slow , even if Germany seems now to have woken up to the risk. NATO can & should state publicly that it will actively & strong defend & protect the ancient Right of Freedom of Navigation on the High Seas in the Black Sea Region, so important to Free & Legal trade. Ukraine has, on its own, stopped the effectiveness of Putin’s Black Sea Fleet. This action would stop Putin from ever trying to re-creat control over any Grain Corridor & make Ukrainian exports easier - which would help the Ukrainian economy. So come on NATO - do something positive now at minimal cost .
