Last night, a Russian-made drone crashed in Galați and damaged a household. Following the incident, I discussed with all decision-makers to take the necessary measures immediately. The Romanian Government’s priority remains the protection and safety of citizens. Diplomatic measures have also been ordered, including informing partners and allies.
Russia’s repeated violation of Romanian airspace is an irresponsible act and a serious breach of international law. I condemn it without reservation and firmly demand that Russia immediately cease such actions.
These incidents are a consequence of the war launched by the Russian Federation against Ukraine and generate risks to Romania’s security and that of the states on the Eastern Flank.
Recent events once again show how important citizen safety and strengthening national security are. The Government will act firmly and will use all the tools at its disposal, including the SAFE program, to reduce risks and strengthen the country’s defense.
Defending national interests always requires coordinated and responsible action.
