President Nicușor Dan warned that Russia is attempting to escalate the Ukraine conflict by targeting other European nations, particularly through drone attacks in the Black Sea. In an interview with Bloomberg, he stated that incidents involving commercial vessels cannot be deemed accidental and emphasized Romania's request for additional NATO support. He agreed with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz on the underestimation of the Russian threat. Dan highlighted that the Russian aggression extends beyond conventional warfare, involving hybrid tactics like cyberattacks and disinformation. Romania is enhancing its military capabilities while seeking temporary support from NATO allies. He reiterated the importance of avoiding escalation while strengthening defenses and continuing support for Ukraine.
