Romania’s president says that the events represent a real security risk for Romanians living in the border areas with Ukraine. Farmers who make a living from farming near the border live in danger. In a short time, parts from three Russian drones have crashed on the Romanian side of the border. There are many indications that the drones have fallen on the Romanian side by accident and that ports in Ukraine have been the target of the drone attacks.

Stoltenberg also said that there is no indication that the drone was a deliberate attack on NATO. When the first drone struck on September 6, Romania’s defense minister said parts of what may have been a Russian drone fell on Romanian territory. If so, it is serious, said the president. First rejected the reports Early last week, Romania’s government rejected Ukrainian information that Russian drones had detonated and fallen over Romanian territory.

Whether it is the same Russian drone that was mentioned on Monday is unclear. – I confirm that parts that may have belonged to a drone have been found, says Tilvar, according to HotNews. A crater bears witness to the dangers faced by farmers in the border area.

Since July, when Russia withdrew from the grain agreement that provided safe exports of grain and other foodstuffs via the Black Sea, the country has attacked several Ukrainian ports. These ports are located along the Danube River, which borders Romania.
