Stefan GrobeHOST
So how serious is the Russian threat, especially the one posed by drone attacks? Earlier, I put this question to Romanian Foreign Minister Oana-Silvia Turcu.
O
15:57Oana-Silvia TurcuGUEST
Uh, we have seen this year, for example, a threefold increase compared with previous years.
O
16:03Oana-Silvia TurcuGUEST
It's, though, the spillover effect of an increased number of attacks that Russia has in targeting Ukrainian infrastructure at our border, the ports, um, crossing points at the border, uh, and so on.
O
16:17Oana-Silvia TurcuGUEST
It's Russia's strategy to try to create choke points on Ukraine's economy.
O
16:22Oana-Silvia TurcuGUEST
Uh, and that is why, for example, something that we're, we've done this week in New York and what we aim to build is again, uh, something similar with the solidarity lanes we have had in the Black Sea, a ceasefire, a moratorium that, uh, would enable us, especially through the Port of Constanta, to support the proper commercial lanes in the Black Sea, together with Turkey, Bulgaria, Ukraine, of course.

Stefan GrobeHOST
How concerned, uh, Minister, are you about, um, Russian hybrid warfare, the sabotage, the disinformation, the cyberattacks, um, uh, against Romania and other EU countries?
O
17:44Oana-Silvia TurcuGUEST
The cyber, uh, hybrid interferences of Russia are actually their most assertive part directed to countries that are members of the European Union, be it cyberattacks, and we have proposed for the first time listing of some, uh, individuals that, uh, we have analyzed to be part of the cyberattacks that have targeted, uh, Romania.
