Two Ukrainians charged in Romania with placing explosives in Nova Poshta office

Romanian prosecutors have charged two Ukrainians with attempted sabotage as part of an alleged conspiracy linked to Russia.

This was reported by the Balkan Insight publication.

According to Romanian law enforcement, two Ukrainians, aged 23 and 24, placed two packages containing an incendiary substance in October at the premises of Nova Post, a courier service of Nova Poshta that operates abroad.

The post office was located on the first floor of a seven-story apartment building in a central, densely populated area of Bucharest. Prosecutors believe the suspects thus threatened Romania's national security.

The Ukrainians have already been taken into custody. They face up to ten years in prison if found guilty.

The arrest of the two Ukrainians in October 2025 was carried out in cooperation with Polish authorities, who also arrested six suspects in Poland. Law enforcement officials in both countries link the sabotage intentions to the Russian threat to the national security of these countries.
