Romanian President Nicușor Dan said in an interview on Sunday that Russia must ensure its strikes on Ukraine do not endanger neighboring NATO territory after a drone entered Romanian airspace and hit a residential building. Speaking to the BBC’s Weekend program, Dan confirmed that Russia was responsible for the Friday drone strike in the Danube port city of Galați, which injured two people, and called for greater precision in Russian attacks.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. “It became dangerous for Romanian cities. When the Russians are hitting, targeting towns that are on the other side of the Danube they have to be sure they do not provoke injuries for the Romanian citizens,” Dan said. “I hope that they will stop.” Dan did not directly criticize Russia’s continued long-range strikes on Ukraine, which have targeted cities almost daily since late 2022. He said the incident occurred after a Russian drone was damaged by Ukrainian air defenses during an attack on the Ukrainian port city of Reni and then changed course. “There was a swarm of 43 drones that targeted the Reni port which is a west Danube port in the Odesa region,” Dan said. According to Ukraine’s Air Force, Russia launched one ballistic missile and at least 232 drones overnight from Thursday to Friday, targeting central and western Ukraine. Ukrainian defenses said they intercepted or suppressed 217 drones, with several reaching targets in Odesa, Izmail and Reni, damaging civilian infrastructure.
