Prime Minister Nicolae Chuke said on Thursday that an event like the one in Poland, when a missile killed two people in a town near the border with Ukraine, was very difficult to predict and that “we cannot say that it can not happen” and in Romania such a case.

When asked whether additional security measures are expected in the border regions of Romania with Ukraine after the incident in Poland, the Prime Minister replied that this is a matter that belongs to the Ministry of National Defense and which is probably considering the measures.

“Now it’s a situation that still has an emotional impact, and it’s normal that it does because people have died. This is an issue that is actually related to the measures taken at the level of the Ministry of National Defense, and I would not like to predict the measures that are probably under analysis, and this part of the security I can tell you that, as always , when I had the opportunity, and I am now saying that because of everything that we are doing at Government level with the allies, we are doing nothing but taking every measure to ensure that we do not have these events. Romania is a safe country. Of course, we cannot say that what happened in Poland cannot happen, it is very difficult to predict, it is very difficult to predict such an event. I do not want to tell you now that we are in a position to dispose of technical means to prevent such a situation. This is impossible,” Prime Minister Chuke said.

The missile, which killed two people, fell on the territory of Poland in conditions when Russia on Tuesday carried out massive bombing of some civilian infrastructures in Ukraine, including near the border with Poland.

After Russia was initially named as a suspect in Tuesday’s raid, which sparked fears of an escalating conflict with NATO, Polish President Andrzej Duda on Wednesday said it was “very likely” that the missile came from Ukraine’s missile defenses.

Before the virtual meeting on Wednesday, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg blamed Russia, assuring that “it is clear that this is not Ukraine’s fault” and that Russia, which “continues its illegal war against Ukraine,” is primarily responsible for the fall of the missile.
