Russian Strikes on Ukraine Prompt Construction of Air-Raid Shelters in Romanian Ghost Village

Romania has begun constructing air-raid shelters for residents near the Ukrainian border in response to repeated Russian attacks on Ukrainian sites. Plauru, a Romanian village across the Danube River from Izmayil, has seen a decline in population and infrastructure, but the Defense Ministry has installed shelters due to the proximity to the war zone. While some residents want to stay, others express concerns about safety and the possibility of drone strikes. The Romanian government has reassured citizens that they are not being targeted by Russia.
