For several years, fuel was stolen from the Mihail Kogalniceanu NATO airbase in Romania. As it turned out, “the negligence of the American military” is to blame.
Long-term theft resulted in a tidy sum – the damage was estimated at about $ 2 million, according to the Pentagon. However, Romanian Defense Minister Vasile Dyncu confidently countered – he accused the American military of poor knowledge … of the country’s culture, the newspaper Izvestia writes.
The NATO airbase hosts reconnaissance aircraft that were brought here to watch Russia. For 4 years, there were regular thefts of fuel, which Dynku took for granted:
“Look, this was a supply point somewhere outside the US military base. I would call it negligence on the part of the Americans – they are not familiar enough with our culture “…
On November 9, Bogdan Aurescu, Romania’s foreign minister, announced that the US military presence should be increased throughout the Black Sea region. In his opinion, the situation in the Black Sea region affects the transatlantic relations in general. The diplomat also said that he had already sent “some preliminary ideas” to Secretary of State Anthony Blinken.
