Details: Dan said that he and Zelenskyy agreed to accelerate cooperation between Romania and Ukraine in the field of jointly producing drones that can be rapidly deployed.

Quote: "Ukraine's battlefield expertise and drone technology are strategic assets for the defence of the entire Eastern Flank. Romania will continue to invest in strengthening NATO's Eastern Flank and in supporting Ukraine in its legitimate quest of self-defence."

Details: Referring to the incident in Galați, Dan stressed that "Russia demonstrates total disregard for international law and innocent civilian lives".

"This must stop. Russia must end its attacks and engage in meaningful dialogue towards a just and lasting peace in Ukraine," he noted.

Background: Earlier, Dan announced the decision to close the Russian Consulate General in Constanța and expel the consul. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova subsequently threatened "measures" in response.
