The missile incident in Poland shows how difficult the security situation is, but "clarity" about its circumstances is needed and "there is no room for speculation" in this case, Minister of Foreign Affairs Bogdan Aurescu said in an intervention at the international conference "Romanian Military Thinking - Security Architecture Dynamics in the Extended Black Sea Area in the Context of the Ukraine Conflict and the New NATO Strategic Concept", told Agerpres.
"Last evening's incident in Poland, on the border with Ukraine, shows us how difficult and sensitive the security situation caused by the war against Ukraine is. We are in close contact with our ally and strategic partner Poland, and it is important that all the circumstances of the incident are clarified as quickly as possible," Aurescu said.
He also brought to mind that the North Atlantic Council meets on Wednesday.
"The ambassadors of all NATO states are discussing the circumstances of this incident. As President Klaus Iohannis said, Romania stands in full solidarity with Poland and we send our condolences to the relatives of the two victims of the explosion last evening. There is no room for speculation. We must have clarity about the circumstances of the occurrence," Aurescu pointed out.
Referring to Russia's attacks on Ukraine's civil infrastructure, in the context of the deadly incident in Poland, Aurescu said that he "took note of the statements of President Biden and President Duda, but the fact that something like this happened shows that the manner in which Russia is targeting the civilian infrastructure in Ukraine, in an attempt to weaken social resilience and Ukraine's will to fight aggression, is deeply inadmissible. Yet I am confident and I think that everyone in this room should trust that Ukraine will continue to fight effectively."
