NATO and the EU have strongly condemned the GRU's cyber activities against member states, including Romania, underlining the intensification of these attacks in the context of the war in Ukraine.

Romania's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said the GRU's hostile cyber activities target public institutions and critical infrastructure with the aim of undermining democratic stability and discouraging support for Ukraine. Romania aligns itself with NATO and the EU, calling on the Russian Federation to respect international norms in cyberspace. The GRU, with an advanced cyber program, conducts malicious campaigns on a global scale, targeting various entities in allied states.
