🇪🇺🇩🇪🇷🇴 "EU countries will respond with a united front to the Russian strike on a residential building in Romania," — German Foreign Minister Wadephul

Drona prǎbușitǎ joi noapte la Galați este Geran-2, de proveniențǎ ruseascǎ. Aceasta este concluzia fǎrǎ dubiu a raportului tehnic finalizat de specialiștii statului român. Ancheta a stabilit acest lucru pe baza unui ansamblu consistent de probe tehnice. Pe fragmentele recuperate a fost identificată inscripția în caractere chirilice „ГЕРАН-2”, iar componentele electronice, sistemele de navigație, modulele de comandă, motorul și elementele constructive analizate prezintă similitudini până la identitate cu cele ale altor drone Geran-2 recuperate anterior pe teritoriul României și identificate cu certitudine ca fiind fabricate în Federația Rusă. Raportul arată, de asemenea, că marcajele de fabricație, inscripțiile tehnice, caracteristicile constructive și materialele utilizate urmează același proces tehnologic întâlnit la dronele Geran-2 analizate în ultimii ani. Analizele fizico-chimice au confirmat prezența acelorași tipuri de materiale și combustibili identificați în mod repetat la aparate din această serie. Pe baza tuturor acestor elemente, ancheta concluzionează fără echivoc că fragmentele recuperate la Galați provin de la o dronă Geran-2 de proveniență rusească. Faptul că un astfel de aparat a lovit un bloc de locuințe din România, provocând răniți și pagube materiale, este de o gravitate deosebită, iar singurul responsabil este Rusia. Siguranța cetățenilor români și integritatea teritoriului național sunt obligații fundamentale ale statului român și vor fi apărate cu toată fermitatea. Rezultatele acestei anchete vor fi comunicate aliaților noștri și structurilor competente din cadrul NATO și al Uniunii Europene. România va continua să acționeze împreună cu partenerii săi pentru consolidarea securității la frontiera estică a Alianței și pentru protejarea cetățenilor săi. România nu va ignora și nu va minimaliza niciun incident care pune în pericol viața cetățenilor săi, securitatea națională sau suveranitatea statului român.

Last night, Russia’s reckless attacks on Ukraine spilled across our border, but this time hurt Romanian citizens! @RomaniaNATO wish them speedy recovery! We deeply appreciate the strong solidarity and support expressed by our Allies in great numbers. Together, we will clear these threats from our skies! Therefore, @NATO and Allies have to increase delivering more capabilities. We again stressed this in our meetings today at the HQ!

I strongly condemn Russian drones striking Romanians in their homes. This is grave. The Republic of Moldova stands in full solidarity with Romania and wishes a swift recovery to those injured in Galați. Russia is a danger to all and must be stopped.

We stand with our NATO Ally Romania and condemn this reckless incursion on its territory. Our thoughts are with the injured in Galati. We will defend every inch of NATO territory.

Following an overnight incident in Romania SACEUR spoke today to @CHOD_ROU.

Finland condemns the Russian drone attack hitting an apartment building in Romania. Russia is crossing another line in its war of aggression against Ukraine. Finland stands with its ally Romania and continues to support Ukraine to defend itself. The situation is being discussed within the Alliance.

PM @Bolojan: @GuvernulRo strongly condemns Russia’s violation of our airspace. We count on NATO Allies’ support and timely delivery of anti-drone capabilities. We are also focusing on rapid implementation of SAFE.

The Russian drone crash into apartments in Galați was a blatant and serious violation of Romania’s sovereignty and European airspace. I spoke with Foreign Minister @oana_toiu this morning to convey the EU’s full solidarity with Romania. Russia has long ago stopped respecting borders. Moscow cannot be allowed to breach European airspace with impunity. EU Foreign Ministers yesterday vowed to ramp up pressure on Russia, increase support for Ukraine, and invest in Europe’s own defence readiness.

I just spoke with President @NicusorDanRO of Romania about the Russian drone that hit a residential building in Galati. I assured him of NATO’s absolute solidarity with Romania and expressed sympathy for those injured in the incident. I affirmed that NATO stands ready to defend every inch of Allied territory. We will continue to enhance our readiness to deter and defend against any threat, including from drones. Russia’s reckless behaviour is a danger to us all. They continue to target civilians and civilian infrastructure across Ukraine. And last night showed yet again that the implications of their illegal war of aggression don’t stop at the border. Russia’s war needs to end, as does Russia’s disregard for civilian safety. For our part, we will continue to strengthen our deterrence and defence at home and continue our support for Ukraine as they defend against Russia’s aggression.
