In the second of The Eastern Front's two-part series on Black Sea security, Giselle, Dalibor, and Iulia speak with Admiral James Foggo (ret.), dean for the Center for Maritime Strategy, about strategies for enhancing freedom of navigation in the Black Sea. Are we currently experiencing a Russian blockade of the Black Sea? How should the US respond to Russian actions in order to deter future altercations, particularly against commercial ships? What should a NATO presence in the Black Sea look like? And what can NATO member states who are feeling the brunt of Russian attacks, such as Bulgaria and Romania, do to transition from small drone warfare to a fully-fledged maritime security deterrence posture?
