“More heinous attacks have been perpetrated by Russia against Ukrainian civilian infrastructure. Debris has been found on Romanian territory. We have informed and are co-ordinating with our allies on this matter. Romania strongly condemns these irresponsible actions,” Romanian foreign minister Luminita Odobescu wrote on social media.
Russian attack drones also crashed in Romania last year and a Russian missile passed through the airspace of Poland, another Nato member, but the countries and the alliance have played down the incidents rather than risk direct confrontation with Moscow. Heavy fighting continued in several sectors of the 1,000km front line in eastern Ukraine, where Russian forces have been creeping forward for well over a year but have only captured the ruins of two small cities – Bakhmut and Avdiivka – and a number of abandoned or sparsely populated villages.
