Secretary of State Marco Rubio, about Russian drone incursions in the airspace of several countries, including Romania: "We are not in their favor. That is, we do not like them. But we have a firm commitment to NATO and to defending our partners in the event that they are attacked."

American Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated that Russia's border violations are "provocations" and reaffirmed the firm commitment of the U.S. to NATO's defense. In the context of rising tensions on NATO's Eastern Flank, Rubio acknowledged Russian incursions into the airspace of member countries, which prompted NATO to launch Operation Eastern Sentry. While condemning Russia's actions, Rubio avoided details about a new strategy, emphasizing the commitment to NATO's Article 5. Another delicate issue is the waiver granted to Hungary, which allows the continuation of dependence on Russian energy. Marco Rubio confirmed that the waiver for the Paks 2 nuclear power plant, involving Russia, is indefinite, while for oil and gas it is limited to one year. This divergence of information has generated suspicions among American senators, who are calling on Hungary to reduce its energy dependence on Russia.
