Black Sea

Context: Two Russian warships transited the Bosphorus en route to the Black Sea and 15 smaller vessels completed a transfer to the sea as Moscow beefs up its naval presence at a time of tense relations with the West and Ukraine.

About Black Sea:

• The Black Sea ultimately drains into the Mediterranean Sea, via the Turkish Straits and the Aegean Sea.
• The Black Sea is bordered by Bulgaria, Georgia, Romania, Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine.
• To the north, the Black Sea is connected to the Sea of Azov by the Kerch Strait.
• The Bosporus Strait connects it to the small Sea of Marmara, which in turn is connected to the Aegean Sea via the Strait of the Dardanelles.
