Had the pleasure of talking to Arnout about the drone (in)security situation in Romania and EU's eastern flank for de Volkskrant before the Constanța incident. And it seems correct to say nobody was prepared for the naval drone incident either.

Until we get to process all the versions around the naval drone that exploded yesterday in the Black Sea port of Constanța, we can take a look at the clearer picture of the Ukrainian drone overflights in the Baltic region and the Russian drone strike on an apartment building in Galați, Romania.
Whether this collaboration will lead to better communication on real-time threats spilling over from Russia's war in Ukraine remains to be seen after things are clearer around the Constanța incident. For more, check out the latest ACLED Regional Overview: acleddata.com/update/europ...
These events could have affected Ukraine's relations with its allies in EU's Eastern flank, but they will likely further consolidate the argument for further expertise sharing between EU and Ukraine on air defense calibration and adaptation.

Commented last week for BBC Verify:
"The strikes mean Russia has been forced to shorten convoys on supply routes as a "quick coping mechanism to reduce potential damage", Cristian Vlas at conflict monitoring group ACLED told BBC Verify.
"These "feed, fuel, and inform Russian units at the front line and form the basis for capacity to fight in the battlefield and launch long-range drone and missile strikes from occupied territories".

"He suggested Ukraine's main objective was not only to strike the assets "important to Russia's image of grand power", but to disrupt key logistical convoys, command posts, and communication towers."
