Zelensky accuses Russia of Black Sea grain ship attack killing two crew

Ukraine's President Zelensky directly blamed Russia for a Monday morning strike on a cargo vessel near the Pelican Platform in the Black Sea, off Romania's coast, which killed two crew members. The attack, if confirmed, marks a further escalation of Russia's targeting of commercial shipping in the region despite prior grain corridor agreements. The incident raises risks for maritime trade and regional security, with Romania's proximity adding NATO-adjacent implications.
