Deliberately or not, the war is bleeding over the borders into NATO and to other parts of Europe.

This is a spine stiffening exercise.

The air war has got ever more intense.

There's a very, very strong desire to remind Russia what kind of perilous territory that this is tilting towards.

What seems to have happened is that last night there was another fairly major Russian attack on Ukraine.

And during this attack, one of the Russian drones crossed into Romania and hit the roof of an apartment block in a city called Galati, which is quite close to the Ukrainian border.

I mean, it's not far from the Danube.

In the course of this impact, the drone's explosives detonated, two people have been injured and all the residents of the apartment block have been evacuated.

And it seems as though the Romanians were actually tracking this drone as it crossed in, but they were anxious that if they tried to shoot it down, you know, it might actually cause as many problems as simply allowing it to crash.

Yes, an absolutely massive response.

I mean, you know, this isn't the first time it's happened.

I mean, one of the problems, as the ground war in Ukraine has become bogged down, as the air war has got ever more intense, and both sides, the drones that have

been used in attacks have gone astray.

I mean, Ukrainian drones have landed in Baltic countries this year.

I mean, this is the second time a Russian drone has landed near this city in Romania.

And, you know, one of the issues is that it appears as though, deliberately or not, the war is leading over the borders into NATO and to other parts of Europe.

And that is obviously causing, you know, huge concerns.

Part of the response that we're seeing is because there is

a sense that NATO members and European countries, you know, want to draw a line.

You know, there is concern that Russia might attack inside Europe.
