The United Kingdom issued a statement on 1 June 2026 condemning a Russian drone attack that struck a residential building in Galati, Romania, on 31 May 2026. The attack, which injured civilians, was described by UK officials as a violation of Romanian sovereignty and NATO airspace. The UK called it an escalation of Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, which has already caused more than 15,000 civilian deaths since February 2022. The UK urged Russia to agree to an immediate, unconditional ceasefire and reaffirmed its commitment to defend NATO members. UK representatives said they are coordinating with Romania and other NATO allies, including through air policing missions on the eastern flank.
