Estonia's Foreign Minister called for increased pressure on Russia following the drone incident in Romania

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna stated that the threat to NATO countries will persist as long as Russia continues its war against Ukraine.

According to him, the downing of a drone that violated Romania’s airspace demonstrated the Alliance’s readiness to defend the territory of its members.

Tsakhna called for increased military, economic, and political support for Ukraine, as well as greater pressure on Russia to end the war and establish a just and lasting peace.

A Spanish F-18 fighter jet, operating as part of a NATO mission, shot down a Russian drone that had violated Romanian airspace.

As a reminder, on Sunday, August 2, air raid sirens were sounded for the civilian population in eastern Romania for the second time that day. The country’s Ministry of Defense radar surveillance system detected an aerial target near the river border with Ukraine at 3:09 p.m.
