Last night, during another Russian drone attack, one of Russia's drones violated Romanian airspace. NATO condemns such actions, states NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoană.
"NATO condemns the overnight Russian airspace violation of Romanian airspace," wrote Mr. Geoană.
He added that although the Alliance has no information indicating a deliberate Russian attack on NATO allies, such actions are irresponsible and potentially dangerous.
