Morning opening: First Poland, now Romania
Jakub Krupa
Romania has summoned the Russian ambassador to protest over the entry of a Russian drone into its airspace during a strike on neighbouring Ukraine over the weekend.
Just days after a number of Russian drones were reported crossing into Poland, another one flew into Romania on Saturday, drawing further condemnation from EU leaders.
In a statement, Romania’s defence ministry condemned Moscow’s actions, saying “they represent a new challenge to regional security and stability in the Black Sea area, AFP reported.
European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen said:
“Russia’s incursion into Romanian airspace is once again a blatant violation of EU sovereignty and a serious threat to regional security. We are working closely with Romania and all Member States to protect the EU territory.”
But on Monday morning, Russia sought to deflect the blame pointing at Ukraine instead and claiming, without any evidence, that the drone incursion was “a provocation” by Kyiv.
Today should also bring us some first reactions to US president Donald Trump’s “letter to the world” over the weekend, asking Nato allies to completely halt purchases of Russian oil, implement their sanctions, and join him in tariff wars with China.
It’s Monday, 15 September 2025, it’s Jakub Krupa here, and this is Europe Live.
Good morning.

Musk's Starlink service back up after reported disruptions
Elon Musk’s satellite internet service Starlink was back online for most users after a brief outage on Monday, according to tracking website Downdetector.com as reported by Reuters.
Starlink’s website reported an outage early on Monday, without providing further details.
“Starlink is currently experiencing a service outage. Our team is investigating,” it said.
The message has since been removed.
The commander of Ukraine’s drone forces Robert Brovdi reported that the Starlink outage affected the entire frontline of the war with Russia starting at 07:28 local time (0428 GMT).
Ukraine’s forces are heavily reliant on SpaceX’s Starlink terminals for battlefield communications and some drone operations. More than 50,000 terminals are currently in operation in Ukraine, according to officials.
