Romania's foreign ministry said on Friday the attack on a grain ship was "unprecedented escalation" by Russia in its war against Ukraine.
Ukraine accused Russia on Thursday of using strategic bombers to strike a civilian grain vessel in a missile attack in Black Sea waters near NATO member Romania, escalating tensions between Moscow and the military alliance.
