NATO Deputy-General Secretary Mircea Geoana says there is “no risk” that alliance member Romania will be dragged into a war following the recent discovery of drone fragments on its territory near the border with war-torn Ukraine.
“When you hear the sounds of war a few hundred meters from your home, from the place you work, it will generate emotion and anxiety,” said Geoana, a former Romanian foreign minister and ambassador to the U.S. “But there is no risk for Romania to be engaged in this conflict.”
“I want to reassure the Romanian public and especially those on the Danube border with Ukraine that there are no reasons to worry,” Geoana said, adding that he intends to visit those Danube areas. “Perhaps my presence will be a message of confidence and calm.” Referring to a NATO summit held in July in Lithuania’s capital of Vilnius, Geoana said NATO leaders have designed a new generation of defense plans “for exactly this type of situation, or even worse, for cases of deliberate attacks” which he said are tailored for the region.
