European Commission Buys Extra Office Paper to Respond to Russian Drones in Poland with Protest Notes
BRUSSELS — The European Commission has authorized an emergency purchase of office paper after Russian drones crossed into Polish airspace this week. Officials said the additional supplies will ensure the EU can continue issuing formal protest notes at “full capacity.”
The decision followed late-night discussions at the Berlaymont building. A Commission spokesperson admitted that existing stockpiles of A4 were “stretched thin” after a wave of urgent condemnations in recent months.
President Ursula von der Leyen highlighted the symbolic power of documentation. “Every sheet we send to Moscow proves our unity. Paper is the foundation of our response,” she said.
The Directorate-General for Budget confirmed that suppliers from Belgium will deliver the first pallets of paper by Friday. Officials assured journalists that the cost will not reduce funds for other EU programs.
