According to Bloomberg, Toiu noted that the drone incident in Poland, along with Moscow’s ongoing attempts to test NATO’s 'red lines,' underscores this contradiction. She added that the situation is pushing Romania and other Eastern European countries to significantly boost defense spending.“When it comes to Russia, you need to look at what they do,” she stressed. This is “what we know very well — Romania, Poland and some other countries — and I think this is increasingly better understood by the rest of the world.”Romania, a member of NATO and the European Union with the longest border with Ukraine, is directly affected by the consequences of Russian aggression. Bucharest regularly sends fighter jets to patrol the border with Ukraine during Russian attacks, and drone debris often falls on Romanian territory.“We haven’t seen a decrease in their attacks, quite the opposite,” Toiu added. Europe must “prepare our defenses and deterrent capacities — and also our continuous support to the Ukrainian army and the Ukrainian people for the time that is needed.”Russian Shaheds in Polish airspace.
