The NATO chief on Saturday spoke over the cellphone with the Romanian president to debate the continuing battle between Russia and Ukraine and drone elements present in Romania.

“Spoke to (Klaus Iohannis regarding) Russian attacks on Ukraine by the Danube & drone parts found in #Romania. No indication of intent to hit #NATO, but the strikes are destabilizing,” Jens Stoltenberg stated on Twitter.

“I welcome the US decision to deploy more F-16s for NATO air policing. We stand in solidarity with Romania,” Stoltenberg added.

Earlier, Romania’s Defense Ministry stated that the nation’s troops discovered new drone fragments on its territory on Saturday close to the border with Ukraine. It was the second such discovery in Romania this week.

After the cellphone name with Stoltenberg, Iohannis stated on X that the drone fragments in query are “similar to those belonging to drones used by the Russian military.”

“I strongly condemned this violation of our sovereign air space, which is a threat to Romanian citizens in the area,” he added.

There was no instant remark from Russia.
