The Russian drone strike that hit an apartment building in Romania last night is a stark reminder that Russia’s aggression does not remain confined to Ukraine’s borders but directly threatens NATO allies as well.
Following the incident, Estonia is in close contact with Romania and other allies. It is clear that NATO’s deterrence and defense posture, especially air defense, must be strengthened.
We must also continue supporting Ukraine and increase pressure on Russia to end its aggression. This requires adopting a strong 21st EU sanctions package, including a full ban on maritime services for vessels transporting Russian oil and oil products.”
