Plus de 2 000 militaires et 30 navires prennent part à l’exercice Breeze 2021 en mer Noire. Cet exercice maritime dirigé par la Bulgarie, qui a commencé le 12 juillet et se termine aujourd’hui (19 juillet), mobilise des forces de 14 pays de l’Alliance et pays partenaires (Albanie, Belgique, Bulgarie, Géorgie, Grèce, Italie, Lettonie, Pologne, Roumanie, Espagne,Turquie, Ukraine, Royaume-Uni et États-Unis).

L’exercice vise à accroître l’interopérabilité des unités participantes et à améliorer la disponibilité opérationnelle des forces de l’OTAN dans la région de la mer Noire. « La mer Noire revêt une importance stratégique pour l'OTAN, qui reste très attachée à la sécurité de cette région », a déclaré le porte-parole délégué de l’OTAN, Piers Cazalet.

L’exercice Breeze est mené chaque année depuis 1996. Deux des quatre flottes OTAN participent à l'édition de cette année, à savoir le 2e Groupe maritime permanent OTAN (SNMG2) et le 2e Groupe permanent OTAN de lutte contre les mines (SNMCMG2).

Depuis l'annexion, illégale et illégitime, de la Crimée par la Russie, l’OTAN a renforcé sa présence en mer Noire. Des navires de l’OTAN y opèrent régulièrement, dans le respect du droit international, en y patrouillant pendant deux tiers de l’année environ. Avant l’exercice Breeze, le SNMG2 a effectué des patrouilles en mer Noire et a pris part à Sea Breeze, un exercice multinational organisé conjointement par l’Ukraine et les États-Unis.
