Several heads of state, including Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, are gathering in Bucharest this Wednesday for the B9 summit, which brings together NATO’s eastern flank countries amid growing tensions linked to the war in Ukraine. Even in Romania, the conflict feels increasingly present. In recent months, Russian attacks have intensified against Ukrainian Danube ports located just a few hundred metres from the Romanian border.
In the Danube Delta, a UNESCO-protected biosphere reserve, Romanian residents are regularly awakened by explosions and air raid alerts coming from across the river.
