Russia's aggressive war has crossed another border.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen commented on the downing of a Russian drone on a house in Romania on social media X
"Russia's aggressive war has crossed another border. A Russian drone incursion has hit a densely populated neighborhood in Romania, injuring civilians. On EU territory.
We stand in full solidarity with Romania and its people.
While we continue to strengthen our security and deterrence, especially on our eastern border, we will continue to increase pressure on Russia. We are preparing the 21st package of sanctions," she said.
We recall that on the night of May 29, in the Romanian border town of Galati, a drone crashed into a multi-story building and exploded. Two people were injured.
