Romanian president Klaus Iohannis posted a message on Twitter saying Romania stands in full solidarity with its friend and ally Poland following the concerning news related to the explosions on its territory. The government also published a statement saying it is in contact with its allies and is analysing the situation generated by the landing of a missile on Polish territory. The incident in Poland shows how difficult the security situation is, but „clarity” is needed about the circumstances in which it occurred and in this case „there is no room for speculation”, foreign minister Bogdan Aurescu emphasised. The chief of defence staff, general Daniel Petrescu had talks with his Polish counterpart, general Rajmund Andrzejczak after the incident near Poland’s border with Ukraine. „We are in contact and are briefing each other. The Romanian Army stands in solidarity with the Polish Army and supports the efforts of our Polish comrades to adopt the necessary allied measures once the incident is clarified”, he posted on Facebook. Two people were killed on Tuesday after a rocket hit a Polish village near the border with Ukraine as Russia was carrying out attacks on various cities and infrastructure across Ukraine. Poland raised the combat level at several military units, said the spokesman of the Polish government. NATO ambassadors will be meeting at Poland’s request on the basis of NATO’s Article 4, which states that „the Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened”.
