Belgian Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot condemned the attack against Romania.

Referring to the consequences and risks caused by the attack, Prevot said: “We stand in full solidarity with Romania. Belgium condemns the crash of a Russian-made explosive-laden drone into a residential building in Galați, causing injuries to civilians and leading to evacuations. This is unacceptable and irresponsible behavior.”

Drawing attention to the potential for escalation, Prevot stated: “A weapon of war striking an apartment building in a country that is both an EU member and a NATO ally is a dangerous escalation that concerns us all. We fully support Romania’s diplomatic response and its call to accelerate counter-drone capabilities on the eastern flank.”

Highlighting Belgium’s military presence in the region and the Alliance’s defense approach, Prevot said: “Belgian soldiers are currently serving in Cincu, Romania, as part of NATO’s Forward Land Forces Battle Group. Allied security is indivisible.”
