Czech Foreign Minister Jan Lipavský commented on the recent incident involving a Russian drone that violated Romania’s airspace.
Writing on X, Lipavský stressed that he does not believe the drone ended up in Romania’s airspace by accident:
“Russia continues to provoke. Last night it was Romania. I don’t believe in Russia’s ‘mistakes.’ As NATO allies, we remain vigilant.”
According to him, Russia must pay a tangible price for its provocations against NATO.
“That is why the Czech Republic supports further sanctions,” Lipavský concluded.
On Saturday, Romanian authorities issued a RO-Alert for the northern part of Tulcea County, warning residents about the possible fall of objects from airspace.
Romanian Foreign Minister Luminița Odobescu (Oana Țoiu is a minister of labor, but here likely refers to the MFA statement) said Romania intends to raise the issue of Russia’s drone provocations at the UN General Assembly.
