After Ukraine and Russia’s agreement to a Black Sea ceasefire as part of broader talks being brokered by the United States in Saudi Arabia, the next step is to design a coalition maritime force to secure the peace. This force will need multiple layers of defense, intelligence sharing, and the ability to counter hostile acts—particularly those aimed at grain corridors, critical infrastructure, or coastal regions.

The scale of Russian aggression against NATO airspace after its initial invasion of Ukraine in 2014 has led the alliance to increase its aerial policing missions, adding efforts in Romania (Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base) and Bulgaria (Graf Ignatievo Airforce Base). Each of these missions consists of the persistent presence of a squadron minus fighter aircraft (i.e., 4–6 aircraft) and 100–200 support personnel that operate alongside a similar number of host nation platforms.

RT @FDD: 🇰🇵 + 🇷🇺 = ⚠️ Why exactly is North Korea sending fighters and munitions to support Putin's war against Ukraine? @MarkCMontgomery…

I had a great talk with former Speaker Newt Gingrich on the CCPs "most likely" scenario for Taiwan - a Cyber Enabled Economic Warfare campaign. We can't just plan for the "most dangerous" scenario - a cross straight invasion - we have to prepare for both. https://t.co/an5FPKfGAe
