AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoMaritime Security Shock: Russia-Ukraine fighting is spilling into commercial shipping again. India says a Russian strike on the Guinea-Bissau-flagged MV Golden Leo off Odesa killed 4 Indian crew and left another critically injured, prompting New Delhi to summon Russia’s chargé d’affaires Vladimir Ladanov and lodge “grave concerns” and “unequivocal condemnation.” Diplomatic Push: Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar later reiterated India’s “strong concern” over seafarers’ safety in talks with Sergey Lavrov in Manila, while Russia said it sees no reason to stop targeting vessels linked to Ukraine. Shipping Disruption: Maersk temporarily suspended services via Ukraine’s Chornomorsk Fishery Port due to shelling, redirecting cargo to Constanta. Regional Energy Infrastructure: ECOWAS backed the $25bn Nigeria–Morocco Atlantic gas pipeline, a 6,000km corridor expected to run through Guinea-Bissau and other West African states—though security and cross-border protection remain key risks. Black Sea Safety Warnings: Ukraine urged an emergency UN Security Council session over attacks on civilian shipping, as more incidents—including drone attacks on other vessels—raise fresh navigation concerns.
