15. in Romania, Russia is trying to attack the border crossing with Ukraine

on the Danube river. Military supplies travel this route from EU countries into Ukraine.

I am well aware of Russian drone strikes in Romania. When the war started I sent my girlfriend to the border to welcome the Ukrainian refugees streaming over the Danube with little belonging... She was part of a massive Romanian response who welcomed the refugees with toys for the children and blankets and, most importantly, money to help them get into Europe and get official aid from governments.

Russia is also trying to stop the exports of grain and other goods to hurt the Ukraine economy.

Definitely targeted. There are no battles being fought in these areas, but all of them are likely targeted...

Moldova actually has Russian troops in an area named Transnistria.. The Moldovan government would like them to all leave but doesn't want to start a war with Russia to do it.

Poland and Ukraine share a longer border than Romania and Ukraine. It is another place where there are large movements of military equipment into Ukraine. So that's not an accident either.

As for Latvia... I am pretty sure Russia want to start something there, so probably not an accident. More of a warning shot saying "you guys in the Baltic states are next"

Your assertion that Russia is just having a number of accidents is likely Kremlin propaganda. You should check your sources before making such claims.
