„A fost un atac pe teritoriul României, dar nu împotriva țării noastre”. Detaliul care face diferența între război și pace cu Rusia, explicat de un analist de intelligence

The Black Sea has become a tense area following Russian drone attacks on commercial ships in Romanian territorial waters. Military intelligence expert Sandu Valentin Mateiu emphasizes that this incident raises serious questions about sovereignty and international law. Romania's response has been cautious, contrasting with Bulgaria's firm stance after similar attacks. Mateiu argues that the attack on neutral vessels in Romanian waters constitutes a significant violation of sovereignty, necessitating a strong response from Romania. He clarifies that while the attack occurred on Romanian territory, it does not equate to an attack against the Romanian state itself, as the target was a neutral ship. Romania must prepare a diplomatic and military response without escalating to war, and consider invoking NATO's Article 4 for consultations among allies.
