5:20Now PlayingRussian President Vladimir Putin said Friday he was informed of a drone strike on a residential apartment block in Galati, Romania — a NATO member state — only moments before stepping into a press conference in Astana, Kazakhstan, calling it premature to attribute the incident to Russia and suggesting the drone was most likely of Ukrainian origin. The strike, which occurred during an active Russian aerial attack on neighbouring Ukraine, drew an immediate and forceful response from NATO, which accused Moscow of reckless behaviour and reaffirmed its pledge to defend every inch of Allied territory, while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called it a crossing of another line.
Putin, pushing back directly at von der Leyen, noted she had not personally examined the drone debris, adding that no determination of origin could be made without a formal technical examination — and called on Romania to hand over fragments for a Russian-led investigation. Putin cited precedent, noting Ukrainian drones had previously strayed into Poland, Finland and the Baltic states before being correctly identified as non-Russian. The incident marks the most direct intrusion of the Ukraine conflict into NATO territory to date, raising urgent questions about escalation, alliance obligations under Article 5, and the reliability of competing narratives in an active information war. No official findings from the Galati crash site investigation have been confirmed publicly at the time of publication.
