Tensions between Russia and Western alliances have been high since the Ukraine conflict escalated.
Romanian MEP Diana Sosoaca accuses EU and NATO of using a recent drone incident in Romania to push the country towards war with Russia. The drone, which crashed in Galati near the Ukrainian border injuring two, was blamed on Russia without conclusive proof. Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ambassador Vladimir Lipaev have denied Russian involvement, calling for an objective investigation. Sosoaca claims the EU and NATO are fueling anti-Russian sentiment to escalate tensions, while critics of war are labeled as Russian spies. The Romanian government, led by Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, plans to accelerate acquisition of anti-drone systems via the EU’s SAFE program, a move unpopular with the general population. Putin warned during a visit to Kazakhstan that Russia would defend itself against any attack. The incident comes amidst heightened tensions, with several Ukrainian drones recently crashing in Baltic states, prompting Russian warnings to NATO.
