Romanian authorities have identified two locations where the fragments of russian drones were discovered following a recent attack on Ukraine
The inspections were conducted after an overnight assault by russia on January 17
according to a statement from the Ministry of Defense of Romania
involving military and law enforcement personnel
found debris from russian-manufactured Geran-1/2 drones in two areas
One site was located between the villages of Chatalchioi in Tulcea County and Tudor Vladimirescu in Botoșani County
The other was situated south of Chilia Veche in Tulcea County
The Ministry of Defense confirmed that no infrastructure was damaged and no material losses were reported as a result of the debris
This discovery marks yet another instance of the regional impact of russia’s ongoing aggression against Ukraine
raising concerns about the spillover effects of the conflict on neighboring countries
Russian drones fell in Romania on January 17. Their wreckage was discovered in two locations in the border counties of Botoșani and Tulcea, according to Romania's Ministry of Defense
"An interagency team completed its investigation on January 17 in the border area of Tulcea County following the drone attack on civilian targets and port infrastructure in Ukraine," the statement reads
the investigation found two areas where Russian-made Geran1/2 drones had crashed
One crash site is located between the towns of Cășăria (Tulcea County) and Tudor-Vladimirescu (Botoșani County)
while the second is south of Chilia Veche (Tulcea County)
"The drone debris impact did not affect any infrastructure
and no material damage has been reported," the Ministry of Defense added
Two Russian drone crash sites were found in Romania after the attack on Ukraine on January 17 (google.com/maps)
Russia launched an attack on Ukraine with drones and ballistic missiles on the night of January 17. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that one of the drones entered Romania's airspace.
Additionally, Romania scrambled F-16 fighter jets in response to the Russian attack on Ukrainian cities near the Danube on January 17
The Russian army targeted the Izmail district in the Odesa region with drones
The target of the attack was the local port infrastructure

I hailed a taxi to take me to where I was meeting others—a traditional Romanian village
Driving from Casa Lurca de Calinesti (next to the Elie Wiesel Memorial House) down Strada Tudor Vladimirescu (formerly Kigyó utca) we passed a long yard on the right
“What is here?” I asked my twenty-something driver
This shabby house on the right was where the Katz family lived; they hid valuables in their dry well
and these grounds held meaning only for me
A gathering in Sighet in traditional Romanian costumes
Armed with stories about my mother’s childhood
I visited her hometown of Sighet in May 2019—to finally see the place I had long wondered about
to commemorate the deportation of the area’s more than 12,000 Jews to Auschwitz
I tried to imagine streets filled with men and boys walking to synagogue
grandmothers praying for the coming of the messiah
Jews had once comprised 40% of Sighet’s population; the place was now homogeneous
Young people in traditional Romanian costumes posed for photographs at a street fair
Others congregated at the market or in cafés on the main thoroughfare
The vibrant community that vanished two generations ago was—but for the mayor and some educators
and the offspring of Jews who settled in Sighet after the war—forgotten
Among the thirty of us on this pilgrimage was Elisha Wiesel
He spoke about the time he came to Sighet with his father—who saw ghosts
Elie had then told him that there were two Sighets: the Sighet of today and the Sighet in the heavens
I yearned to know the Sighet frozen in cosmic space and time
I wanted to see my grandmother stencil the walls of her family’s small apartment—between Kigyó utca and Timar utca—with a border design of blue and green vines
I wanted to taste the fresh rolls my great-grandmother brought for her grandchildren every morning
I wanted to smell the stone ground wheat produced at the neighborhood flour mill
I consoled myself with what I could take from my visit: the surrounding scenery (the mountains had not moved)
Our guide pointed out hidden signs of the existence of the town’s former inhabitants: Jewish stars carved into the floor of an alley off the main street; wrought iron railings with Jewish stars in a hotel; the shadow of a mezuzah on a doorpost
Holding a directory of “before and after” street names (changed in the years after World War II) she helped my sister and me locate the spot of our forebears’ home
Where my mother had lived for the first fourteen years of her life was now a mostly vacant lot with ramshackle sheds abutting communist-era-style apartments
A gas station across the way was where the Talmud Torah synagogue once stood
where my mother and her family prayed on holidays
I followed my mother’s steps to the school she attended
about a twenty-minute walk down Rosza utca
or less time when she slid down ice-filled gutters on frigid days
Farther along this street was the great synagogue
In its stead is a cenotaph to the deported Jews
she delivered geese to the great rabbi’s house next door
She was proud that he trusted her grandmother
His wife gave her a cookie when she went into their kitchen
from which she could peek into the study filled with the rabbi’s disciples
where the eminent couple conceived their four children
It was a few short blocks from my mother’s apartment to the cinema
Further down the main street is a courtyard—now home to stray dogs—stretching back to the famous Kahan house
which was once elegant and is now dilapidated
I could not climb the hill my mother hiked as a child
Memorial at the Alte Shul Image by Bernice Lerner
my mother and her family and three thousand other Jews—one of four transports—were forced to leave their homes
Their first stop was the Mahazikei Torah synagogue
They found it filled to the rafters with anguished men
They then dragged themselves to the Alte Shul
Each of the journey’s last legs is about a thirty-minute walk
It took the ensnared—guarded by brutal Hungarian gendarmerie—hours
They dropped prepared food and supplies along the road
wondering whether any of the houses along the wide boulevard were the ones my mother had looked at wistfully
She did not then know that she was on the way to Auschwitz
where she would be forever separated from her mother

77 years since the Tudor Vladimirescu division entered Bucharest
the Russian Embassy in Romania has reiterated a number of older narratives about Romania’s liberation by the Red Army
the role played by the abovementioned division
made up of former Romanian prisoners of war
as well as about Romania’s cooperation with the USSR
Romanian soldiers held captive in the USSR joined the Tudor Vladimirescu Division willing to fight fascism
Romania turning arms against Germany reflected people’s will
and the Romanian soldiers fought better because they had a just cause
The Romanian army was treated as an ally and fought side by side with the Soviet army
The Soviet army entered Romanian territory to liberate it
Russia’s embassies across the world are taking part in this propaganda effort
by adopting messages and adapting them to the specificity of each country
the narrative promoted by the Russian embassy is reminiscent of the narratives circulated during the war against Nazi Germany
According to these narratives (which during the first years of the communist regime insisted on the “liberating” role of the Soviet Army)
Romania was one of the countries which played a major role in bringing down Nazi Germany
The same narratives argued that Romania siding with the Soviets was the will of the Romanian communists
whose role had been instrumental in the August 23 events
things are not that black-and-white: the communists had played a relatively insignificant role
Romania turning arms against Germany was the result of political decision-making at the highest level (a decision which was steeped in controversy and did not enjoy full support)
which followed the arrest and demise of Marshal Ion Antonescu
as the situation was extremely complicated on the frontline and Russian troops had already entered Romanian territory
which meant full occupation was just a matter of time
much like those now being promoted by the Russian embassy
focused on the common effort to liberate Northern Transylvania
conceded to Hungary under the Second Vienna Award
The battle for Transylvania thus added a national dimension to the effort of defeating Nazism
The narrative ignores the capturing of Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina by the USSR under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact
considering that Romania entered WWII on the side of Germany with the undeclared purpose of liberating these territories
A much more controversial decision was the one whereby the Antonescu regime chose to wage war across the Dniester
as an attempt at finally retaking Northern Transylvania
this does not exclude Antonescu’s hostility towards the Bolshevik regime
nor him advocating some of the ideas Nazi Germany was actually fighting for
which in turn contributed to Romania deciding to cross the Dniester
the Romanian forces were also guilty of committing war crimes in USSR territory
and Romania was one of the countries that took part in the Holocaust
In the meta-narrative about Romania’s participation in the war against Nazi Germany and its alliance with the Red Army
the “Tudor Vladimirescu” division also plays a key role: its existence proved
that Romanians had fought the Nazis even prior to August 23
while on the other hand that the decision also had an ideological component
in addition to its nationalist purpose (Obviously
Tudor Vladimirescu is described in communist historiography as a rebel fighting particularly for a social cause)
The practice of recruiting prisoners of war with a view to creating military units that would fight alongside their captors was used in the war both by Nazi Germany (see the Russian Liberation Army led by Vlasov) as well as by the USSR
Adding to these units made up of prisoners were others consisting of ideologically-minded volunteers or refugees from various countries
at times fighting on behalf of national authorities in exile (which were known to a greater or lesser extent)
such units were designed to be reused in the future
Such “divisions of volunteers” had been created by Stalin in 1942, made up of Slovaks and Poles. On October 2, 1943, Stalin approved the creation of “Tudor Vladimirescu” 1st Volunteer Division on USSR territory, according to Evenimentul Istoric.
of whom 309.533 were reported on August 23
and another 135.620 were captured after Romania switched sides in the war (according to Ilie Schipor
at least 65,000 allegedly died serving time
given that mortality rate estimates amongst Romanian PoWs stood at 28%
Romanian PoWs died not just in NKVD-run camps
Most of the survivors were set free years after the war had ended
and most of them had to cross thousands of kilometers on foot to get back home
The Tudor Vladimirescu Division took part in the military campaign against Germany
1944 (the Russian Embassy in Bucharest published its post on the anniversary of that date)
The Soviets would subsequently create a new division
but it was already too late for it to have any part in the war effort
be used later – just as what had remained of the Tudor Vladimirescu Division – to help the communists effectively take control of the Romanian army
PURPOSE: To reiterate narratives about the exclusively positive role played by the Soviet Army
The narrative also seeks to invoke the old Romanian-Russian friendship and the prospect of present-day cooperation with a view to attaining joint objectives
It seeks to undermine people’s confidence in the current security context
based on our country’s NATO membership
by suggesting the existence of an alternative rooted in history
namely we were given good and other rights
pay and all the rights befitting an officer […] Each unit and subunit of the division had some Soviet drill-sergeant
[…] We swore allegiance to the Romanian people on the Romanian flag
which didn’t display the royal insignia”
opportunism and the will to survive seem to have played a much more important role in persuading the military to sign up voluntarily for the Tudor Vladimirescu Division
Adding to the pressure every prisoner had been subject to was also the pressure of an intense propaganda drive
A number of Romanian communist activists were forced by Soviet authorities to search the Soviet gulags
looking for Romanian military whom they could recruit for the new division of “volunteers” under the guise of a patriotic war
Nicolae Cambrea (uncle to filmmaker Sergiu Nicolaescu)
those who did volunteer only accounted for a small minority
as long as Romania was at war with the USSR
joining a Moscow-run military outfit was considered an act of treason
Most of the officers were in this frame of mind
so the Russians had a hard time recruiting the necessary numbers to make up a whole division
so they promoted privates or junior officers to full-fledged officers
Not even the narrative regarding a greater and more efficient motivation of the Romanian army would pass a closer scrutiny
Both campaigns were fought in the name of liberating Romanian territories (Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina
Northern Transylvania) and against a regime that was the epitome of evil – Bolshevism
Romania was merely a junior partner in both campaigns
respectively bore the brunt and ultimately decided victory or defeat
In both campaigns Romania was outgunned and less prepared compared to its allies
The strength of the Soviet Army pushing back the Nazi frontlines in the final years of the war was overwhelming
So it’s unwise to compare the efficiency displayed by the Romanian army fighting the Soviets to that of the Romanian army fighting alongside them against an already defeated German enemy who was on the retreat
As regards popular support for Romania turning arms and the enthusiastic reception of the Tudor Vladimirescu Division and the Red Army by the population
the pictures taken at the time can be deceiving
a university professor and former president of the Associations of Historians from the Republic of Moldova
the holder of a PhD in historical sciences
“If we look back at the images and films taken in Bucharest
I believe the people of Bucharest weren’t so enthusiastic about the Russians coming to occupy them
but a division that was part of the 2nd Ukrainian Front
Romanian soldiers were wearing the same uniform as the Soviet military
their shoulder boards were Romanian Army standard issue
But their clothing was nonetheless Soviet”
Romania was not treated as an ally of the USSR
over 135 thousand Romanian military were taken prisoner by the Soviets
Romanian was treated as an aggressor state and forced to pay huge reparations via to so-called SovRoms
Even those Romanian soldiers who were part of the Tudor Vladimirescu Division
whose official status identified them as volunteers
were used as cannon fodder in the Red Army’s western campaign
Anatol Petrencu argues: “The Russians didn’t put too much trust in such military units
We have to say that this Romanian division was also used as cannon fodder
Of the 9,562 soldiers the division had in 1944
Over half of them died fighting in Transylvania
The Red Army didn’t enter Romania to “liberate” it
but as part of its campaign against Nazi Germany and its allies
following the frontlines and the retreating Axis army
Romania in particular was one of the targets of Stalin’s expansion campaigns
The Soviet leader had agreed with his British and American allies that this country would remain in Moscow’s sphere of influence
Bessarabia and Northern Bukovina were re-annexed
An occupation army was stationed in Romania
The “Tudor Vladimirescu” Division played a key role in the communists taking hold of Romania, which proves that the USSR had planned this years before its forces had even came anywhere near the Dniester. Moreover, the 2006 report of the Presidential Committee for Investigating the Communist Dictatorship in Romania
specifies that the people at the top of the “Tudor Vladimirescu” Division had close ties with the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and the NKVD secret police
Historian Anatol Petrencu points out that the creation of the Horea
at a time when it could no longer be of any service in the war
is further evidence of the USSR’s true intentions when using Romanian “volunteers”
“The truth is that Moscow was home to many Romanian communists
The latter would become the commander of the other Romanian division in the Red Army
when it had become very clear that Germany was by now defeated
And therein lies the question: why did the Russians create another division
[...] Those who addressed Stalin and spread propaganda amongst Romanian prisoners were Romanian communists
He agreed with the Romanian communists who saw Romania nost just a country liberated from German occupation
And when the second division was created – Horea
Cloşca and Crişan – at the end of the war
it was already clear that the division led by Valter Roman was meant to bring and uphold communism in Romania
if we look back at the toppling of King Michael”
GRAIN OF TRUTH: The two divisions were forcefully made up of volunteers who fought alongside the Red Army during the Second World War
Soldiers of the Tudor Vladimirescu division were met with enthusiasm by the civilian population upon entering Bucharest
Disinformation uses a variety of manipulation tactics
Disinformation stories can easily be created by combining provocative topics
Interim president Ilie Bolojan wants to reduce the number of days off granted to public sector employees in Romania
according to a well-known Romanian conspiracy theorist

Romanian state-owned hydropower provider Hidroelectrica is seeking experts to conduct the feasibility study for a 45 MW ground-mounted PV project it wants to develop in Tudor Vladimirescu, in Brăila county, Muntenia, southern Romania, according to the website Licitatie-Publica.ro
The project is the first solar power station planned by the company
which currently owns and operates 6.4 GW of hydropower assets across the country and is also planning to build both onshore and offshore wind power plants
According to Romanian media outlet Profit.ro
the new solar park will require an investment of ROL193 million ($42.6 million) and will be the main bulk of a plan to deploy 50 MW of PV capacity in the country
with the remaining 5 MW being represented by small-scale floating PV arrays spread across its numerous hydropower plants
Profit.ro also reports that in March, Hidroelectrica was interested in acquiring a 153 MW PV project under development by local real estate developer Portland Trust. In August, however, the project was bought by Israel-based renewable energy company Nofar Energy
In May 2020, the Romanian government introduced more favorable rules for power purchase agreements

The 2024 Central European floods in Romania were triggered by Storm Boris
which brought torrential rains to the counties of Galați and Vaslui on 14 September
over 150 mm of rainfall per square meter caused ash floods in several areas
with flood waters reaching depths of 1.5 to 2 meters in the localities of Cudalbi
severely damaging infrastructure such as roads
More than 6,000 homes were either damaged or destroyed across both counties
Around 400 people remain displaced and are currently being sheltered in temporary housing provided by authorities
The restoration of critical infrastructure
It will take weeks to months for damaged homes to become habitable again
and the reconstruction of destroyed houses or relocation of affected people to safer areas will take even longer
Many rural residents have lost livestock and crops
depriving them of their main sources of income
and those who have lost farming livelihoods
are especially at risk during both the response and recovery phases
