$1.2 billion is the estimated cost of Turkey’s proposed military fuel pipeline, which would run to Romania via Bulgaria to supply NATO allies on the eastern flank.
Ankara made the pitch as NATO pushes to expand its military pipeline network to meet allied energy needs in Eastern Europe.
Turkey’s proposal also comes ahead of the alliance’s July summit, which Ankara is preparing to host.

How might increasing Black Sea tensions and attacks on infrastructure disrupt the new pipeline’s operation and regional energy security plans?
