Ukraine has escalated its naval campaign against Russia's sanctions-evading "shadow fleet" with drone strikes on at least seven tankers since November 2025, while two separate drone incidents over NATO member Romania — a Russian Geran-2 hitting an apartment building in Galati and Ukrainian maritime drones detonating near Constanta port — have exposed the war's expanding threat to allied territory. The incidents have sent Black Sea shipping insurance rates soaring by 250%, triggered diplomatic expulsions, and raised unresolved questions about NATO's threshold for collective defense and the legal boundaries of targeting civilian vessels at sea.
