"The recent incursion of a Russian drone into the Romanian airspace and its explosion... proved once again that Russian aggression poses a real threat to the Black Sea region and the entire Europe," Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga said in a post on X.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged his European allies to increase sanctions on Russia in the wake of the incident.

"We count on the European Union's new sanctions measures against Russia to be truly strong and to make Russia feel that its strikes mean significant losses for Russia itself," he said on X.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said earlier that Russia's "war of aggression has crossed yet another line" and expressed solidarity with Romania and its people.
