The Black Sea is located midway between Asia and Europe. It connects Asia to the Aegean and Mediterranean Seas of Europe via the Bosphorus Strait and the Dardanelles of Turkey. It is a warm sea that is navigable all year round. Whoever dominates or influences this area will have advantages both in trade and military. Therefore, this sea is coveted. A superpower like Russia wants to control the Black Sea because it wants to fill its geopolitical weakness of not having warm water ports. The temperature of the conflict here started to heat up when Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea to take full control of the port of Sevtopol in 2014. And after Russia launched a full-scale military operation against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the Black Sea became a battleground at sea with fierce fighting. Russia's Black Sea Fleet was severely damaged, forcing it to relocate to Russian territory and announcing the establishment of a new naval base in Akhazia. Sending a signal that they will definitely not leave this strategic area.
