The Minister of Defense, Ionuț Moșteanu, stated that there are no signs of an attack from Russia against NATO states, which benefit from the protection of Article 5.

Ionuț Moșteanu emphasized that, despite public concerns, there are no clear indications that Russia could attack a NATO member state. He reaffirmed the importance of Article 5 of the NATO Treaty, which obliges all member states to intervene in defense of an attacked ally. Moșteanu argued that Russia, already engaged in the conflict in Ukraine, could not open a new front against NATO, considering the superior military power of the Alliance.
