Romanian Forces Lead 'Exercise Sea Shield 2025' In The Black Sea

BLACK SEA, OFF THE COAST OF CONSTANTA - APRIL 8: Romanian soldiers take part in the Sea Shield 25 multinational military exercise on board the frigate "Regina Maria" on April 8, 2025 in the Black Sea, off the coast of Constanta. NATO forces led by Romania are conducting naval exercises in the Black Sea, with forces from twelve nations demonstrating joint operations. Last month White House officials announced they had brokered a deal between Moscow and Kyiv that would halt military activity over the Black Sea, but the agreement has yet to take effect. Meanwhile, Ukraine's allies continue to shore up security and naval coordination around the vital corridor along NATO's eastern flank. (Photo by Andrei Pungovschi/Getty Images)
