(Adnkronos) – The overnight Russian drone strike on a residential building in Nato and European Union member Romania’s eastern city of Galati is a threat to European security, Italy’s prime minister Giorgia Meloni stated on Friday, deploring the “extremely serious act”
“Last night, a Russian drone struck a civilian building in Romania, injuring two citizens on the territory of an allied country and a member of the European Union,” read Meloni’s statement.
“This is an extremely serious act, which demonstrates that this war of aggression spares no one, continuing to brutally target innocent civilians, disregarding all boundaries, and jeopardising European security,” the statement continued.
“My deepest sympathy and solidarity go out to those affected, to the government, and to the entire Romanian people,” the statement added.
The drone strike on the appartment building in Galati has drawn condemnation from top European officials and Romania has asked Nato to accelerate the transfer of anti-drone capabilities, announcing a planned package of measures against Moscow “proportionate to this very serious situation”.
