Romania Condemns Russia for Weekend Drone Violations

Romanian Foreign Minister Oana Țoiu reported that the aircraft were “Shahed-type drones” deployed by Russia. They likely entered Romanian airspace during Russian strikes on Ukraine’s ports in the Odesa region near Romania’s southeastern border. President Nicușor Dan labeled these repeated intrusions as “inadmissible and intolerable,” stating that they breached Romania’s sovereignty and the airspace of NATO and the EU.

Russian drone incursions into European airspace have become frequent over the past year as Moscow continues its assault on Ukraine, neighboring Romania, and as Vladimir Putin probes the determination of NATO nations.

The ambassador was informed that a Russian Embassy staff member in Bucharest will be declared persona non grata and must leave Romania within five days.

    Seems like the Russians have taken up drone flying as a new hobby, right? Guess someone should remind them that Romania isn’t a free-for-all, or maybe they just fancy a little air tour of NATO’s backyard. 😂✈️

  7. Isn’t it just delightful when your neighbor decides to throw a surprise party in your backyard with drones? 🇷🇴✈️ I suppose Romania will have to start charging for unwanted aerial entertainment now! 😂
