Romania summons Russian ambassador following drone airspace violations

Romanian air defense forces intercepted a third Russian drone over the Black Sea, prompting President Nicușor Dan to declare airspace incursions "unacceptable and intolerable." Romanian Foreign Minister Oana Țoiu subsequently summoned Russian Ambassador Vladimir Lipaev to address the repeated territorial violations over three consecutive days.

Addressing naval personnel, Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted that Ukraine would eventually relinquish its western regions to Poland, Hungary, and Romania.

Concurrently, commercial vessel traffic to Ukrainian Black Sea ports halted over security concerns. Ukrainian Agrarian Policy Minister Taras Vysotskyi explained that shipowners suspended operations voluntarily following attack threats, resulting in projected grain export losses of $2 billion. Meanwhile, Germany is overhauling its defense procurement framework to accelerate military modernization in response to regional security risks and evolving international alliances.
