  "transcript": "situation is still very volatile. Yesterday, for example, a ship was hit next to the port of... Sochi. Sochi, exactly. So that's close to the Georgian border. So again, it makes that Black Sea issue get wider. More importantly, we had two vessels hit in Bulgarian waters, creating diplomatic routes. And we continue to see port facilities or vessels hit in Odessa and obviously Kyiv being hit again. So the situation is not improving and it's actually widening in terms of the areas that are being hit in the Black Sea. On top of it, the Russians are not reassuring anyone by saying that if Kaliningrad, which is their enclave next to the Baltic States onto the Baltic Sea, if Kaliningrad is at risk, they will use nuclear weapons.",
