Six European Nations Sign an Agreement To Protect the North Sea Offshore and Underwater Energy Infrastructure From ‘Hostile Attacks’
Among the many different ways in which the war in Ukraine has disrupted the geopolitical realities in Europe, energy is certainly one of the most critical.

We learn now that Britain and other countries with maritime borders on the North Sea signed an agreement to work together and protect offshore and underwater infrastructure.
