AGP Executive Report
Last update: 16 minutes agoRomania–NATO Drone Crisis: President Nicușor Dan said Russia must ensure attacks across the Danube don’t harm Romanian citizens after a Geran-2 drone hit an apartment block in Galați, injuring two, while the acting defense minister Radu Miruță said he can’t confirm claims that Ukrainian air defenses forced the drone to change course. Diplomatic Fallout: Romania summoned Russia’s ambassador and moved to expel Russian consular staff after the incident, as NATO and EU allies condemned the “grave escalation” and pledged to defend “every inch” of territory. Defense Procurement Push: ROMDEF called for an urgent review of procurement timelines after the Galati strike, and the Ministry of National Defence signed SAFE contracts for infantry vehicles and anti-drone systems; Miruță also sent NATO a list of needed drone-fighting capabilities. Regional Security Context: Romania’s exposure is framed as part of a wider drone-heavy war spilling closer to NATO’s eastern flank, with reports of Russian drone attacks continuing in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region. Local Governance & Civic Life: Bucharest hosted a World Bicycle Day cycling event with diplomatic and municipal support.
