European Parliament member Diana Sosoaca said Bucharest would use the recent drone incident to justify increased defense spending
The leaders of the EU and NATO are using the recent drone incident in Romania to push the country closer to war with Russia, Diana Sosoaca, a Romanian member of the European Parliament and former senator, has told RT.
Romania blamed Russia after a drone crashed into an apartment block in the city of Galati near the Ukrainian border on Friday, injuring two people. President Vladimir Putin called on Romania to share data about the incident for an “objective investigation,” while Russia’s ambassador to Bucharest, Vladimir Lipaev, told RT that there was no proof the drone had come from Russia.
“We ask for an international investigation,” Sosoaca, the leader of the opposition SOS Romania party, said. “There are only assumptions” fueled by anti-Russian fearmongering, she added.
The politician insisted that the EU and NATO were seeking to “push Romania to attack Russia,” while critics of escalation were being labeled “spies” for Moscow.
