At the Black Sea and Balkans Security Forum in Bucharest, we discussed the Black Sea’s strategic role, Russia’s hybrid threats, and the need to strengthen regional security. In these challenging times, unity & coordination are our strongest assets. New Strategy Center

“Romania will continue to support Ukraine, strengthen its defense, and remain a reliable EU partner. Now is the time for solidarity, vision, and coordinated action, including stronger EU support for Republic of Moldova's European Path” — H.E. Angel Tîlvăr, MAPN, RO

#BlackSeaAndBalkansSecurityForum 2025 showcased the vital role of New Strategy Center, led by George Scutaru in fostering strategic dialogue. This think tank expertly unites politicians, theorists & practitioners for regional security. Cooperation is key! 🇷🇴🇺🇸 #NSC

“The sovereignty of Black Sea states must be respected to ensure regional stability and economic development. Cooperation, investment, and consistency are essential.” — H.E. Atanas Zapryanov, Minister of Defence, Bulgaria #EUIntegration #BSBSF2025 #StrategicClarity

“It’s vital for Romania to remain firmly anchored in the Euro-Atlantic space — a pillar of regional stability and a trusted partner for Moldova.” — H.E. Mihai Popșoi, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Republic of Moldova #BSBSF2025 #Moldova #Romania #Security #EuroAtlantic #NSC

“There are 2 sentiments in Russia currently: fear and insecurity. For the great majority of the Russian population, fear and insecurity are the dominant sentiments. I can feel this was something that's been actively induced and encouraged through propaganda”. Vladimir Kara-Murza

“The Middle Corridor is not in competition with the EU’s Three Seas Initiative. On the contrary—it complements it.” — Amb. Fatih Ceylan, President, Ankara Policy Center, at #BSBSF2025 #Connectivity #Geopolitics #BlackSea #MiddleCorridor #ThreeSeasInitiative #NSC

Два дня интенсивных и интересных дискуссий на Форуме по безопасности Чёрного моря в Бухаресте. И лучшее пожелание от одного из участников: «Чтобы в следующем году вы прилетели сюда из Москвы».

“German leadership will have to start at home.” — Nicole Koenig, Munich Security Conference, at #BSBSF2025 Europe can no longer rely solely on US for defense. A credible European industrial base must complement, not replace, American capabilities. #StrategicAutonomy #EU #NATO

“This war will not end as long as Vladimir Putin remains in power. This man means war. This man means aggression.” — Vladimir Kara-Murza, at #BSBSF2025 A sobering assessment of the war’s political engine. #Ukraine #Geopolitics #NSC

“Stop being afraid. The combined power—economic, military, industrial—of all of Europe, plus Canada, dwarfs Russia. One front. One vision. One strategy. Do not be afraid.” — Lt. Gen. (ret.) Ben Hodges, at #BSBSF2025 #NATO #BlackSea #Security #Transatlantic #Geopolitics

Day 2 at #BSBSF2025: The Black Sea is a frontline — not a buffer. From food and migration to mobility, AI, and naval security, Russia’s pressure spans all domains. Europe must act: resilient, united, and forward-looking. #Security #Geopolitics #NATO #EUdefense

Two days at #BSBSF2025 brought one truth into focus: Europe's security depends on readiness, realism, and regional unity. From Moldova’s hybrid battles to Black Sea deterrence, the call is clear: Stop the archer—don’t just intercept the arrow. #Geopolitics #NATO
