Țoiu, după afirmația lui Serghei Lavrov: Rusia are această atitudine de a lua mai puțin în serios lucrurile

During a press conference, Romanian Foreign Minister Oana Țoiu responded to Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov's remarks about the Deveselu base. Lavrov's joking comment about the base being a potential target was met with Țoiu's assertion that Russia often downplays serious issues. She emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong position within NATO and the EU. Since the Aegis Ashore system was installed in Romania in 2016, Russia has claimed it poses a security threat and warned of countermeasures, while NATO maintains the system is purely defensive.
