Russia’s attacks on Odesa are undermining Ukraine’s economic resilience and disrupting one of the world’s key agricultural export corridors. With attacks now also taking place in the exclusive economic waters of NATO member Bulgaria, the implications reach far beyond Ukraine.

What do these developments mean for Ukraine’s economic resilience? How can Ukraine and its partners respond to growing risks to shipping and critical infrastructure? And what more can Europe, the EU, and NATO do to contribute to Black Sea security and prevent further escalation?

Russian missiles and drones are still being built with Western components.
Ukraine has identified 5,816 foreign parts in 202 Russian weapons systems, some made as recently as this calendar year
So why do sanctions keep ‘leaking’? 🧵

The proposed solution is a European OFAC.
If capitals won’t cede executive powers, build a sanctions-tracing hub instead. It would gather intelligence, pick targets and run joint EU-national investigative teams, on the model of the ECB’s supervision of banks.

Won’t it just be whack-a-mole? Potentially, but hundreds of chips reaching Russia is an improvement on the current tens of thousands.
Chasing evaders also forces them to spend energy evading and busting sanctions instead of scaling up.
