Why is the Black Sea so important to Russia if its access is controlled by Turkey at the Bosphorus?
That makes sense. So, what kind of trade happens on the Black Sea?
The Black Sea is a significant transportation hub for commodities such as grains, iron ore, coal, and crude oil. Countries that have their coastline on the Black Sea have developed their ports and infrastructure to augment trade and economic activities in the region.
