At the opening of the Summit of the Three Seas Initiative (I3M), which gathers the heads of state and government of 12 countries, Klaus Iohannis spoke about the discovery of fragments of drones in Tulcea County. It was the first reaction after Defense Minister Ángel Tilvar confirmed earlier in the day that fragments of a drone had been found in the commune of Čatalkioi.

  • “If it is confirmed that these elements come from a Russian drone, such a situation will be absolutely unacceptable and a serious violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Romania, a NATO ally.
  • As I mentioned earlier, these attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure, which are war crimes, are taking place a very short distance from the Romanian border. However, we are ready and in constant contact with other NATO allies,” said Iohannis.
