Predictably, the Kremlin’s disinformation ecosystem wasted no time in baselessly claiming that the drone that hit an apartment block in Galați, Romania, was Ukrainian.

This claim is false. Romanian authorities have already determined through their investigation that the drone that injured two came from 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."

"🇱🇹🇱🇻🇪🇪 Today I was in Vilnius to send a clear message:

Europe stands in full solidarity and unity with Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

I want to praise the resilience of the Baltic people.

In the face of Russia’s hybrid attacks, you have responded with calm and responsibility.

And with a clear message to the Kremlin:

You will fail.

Europe is stepping up its support for defence readiness.

Because when Baltic States are being tested, Europe as a whole is being tested."

"Russia’s massive attack on Ukraine last night shows the Kremlin’s brutality and disregard for both human life and peace negotiations.

Terror against civilians is not strength. It's despair.

We stand firmly with Ukraine, with further support on the way to reinforce its air defence systems."
