Romanian president calls alleged Russian sabotage plot a ‘grave violation’ of NATO member’s security
Romanian officials say the suspected network targeted defense sites and other military facilities across the region, and two suspects were arrested in Germany.
- On Tuesday, Romania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned Russia's ambassador in Bucharest to protest an "act of sabotage," presenting evidence from investigations. The ministry underscored the unacceptable nature of these actions and their gravity for national security.
- Romania's anti-organized crime agency, DIICOT, identified a Russia-coordinated "sabotage network" linked to the Sept. 14 fire in Brasov County. Two suspects were arrested in Germany while "preparing to commit similar acts," with a third warrant issued in Poland.
- The Romanian Intelligence Service alleged the "network's missions were not limited to Romania" and targeted state-owned arms manufacturing facilities. Investigations this year uncovered attempts against international military facilities and sites for training Ukrainian armed forces.
- Romanian President Nicusor Dan called the alleged plot a "grave violation" of NATO member sovereignty and security. He condemned the Russian Federation's involvement, linking the incident to a broader "hybrid war" aimed at weakening European democracies.
- President Dan blamed Russia for attacks on civilian maritime transport in the Black Sea in recent weeks, which left at least 3 people dead. These events have raised fears of escalation in the war against Ukraine.
