The ambassador of the Russian Federation in Bucharest, Vladimir Lipaev, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to send the “firm” protest of the Romanian authorities after the national airspace by a Russia drone. The MAE qualifies the incursion an “unacceptable and irresponsible act, which represents a violation of the sovereignty of Romania”.
The Russian diplomat is thus called to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs only three days after it was carved for the incident – also with Russian drones – from Poland.
“At the disposal of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the ambassador of the Russian Federation to Bucharest was summoned to the headquarters of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in connection with the violation of the Romanian airspace by a Russian drone on September 13, 2025,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Sunday evening.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Romanian side transmitted the “firm protest against this unacceptable and irresponsible act, which represents a violation of the sovereignty of Romania”.
“Such recurrent situations determine the escalation and amplification of threats to the regional security situation,” says the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which specifies that it has requested the Russian party “to take all the measures that are required to avoid in the future the violation of the airspace of Romania.”
“Romania is in permanent contact with its allies and other EU members,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs states.
