European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen expressed solidarity with Romania following an incident in which a Russian drone crashed into a residential building in the border city of Galați overnight. She also noted that the European Union is working on a 21st package of sanctions against Russia.
“Russia’s war of aggression has crossed yet another line.
A Russian drone incursion struck a densely populated area in Romania, injuring civilians.
On EU territory.
We stand in full solidarity with Romania and its people. As we continue strengthening our security and deterrence, especially on our Eastern border, we will keep increasing the pressure on Russia.
We are preparing a 21st package of sanctions,” the European Commission president wrote on X.
