Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday condemned the presence of Russian drones in Romanian territory.<\/p>\n
The Kremlin\u2019s air surveillance in Ukraine has persisted while unmanned aircrafts have been reported in neighboring nations this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Russian military knows exactly where their drones are headed and how long they can operate in the air. Their routes are always calculated. This cannot be a coincidence, a mistake, or the initiative of some lower-level commanders,\u201d Zelensky said in a statement<\/a> on X.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is an obvious expansion of the war by Russia \u2013 and this is exactly how they act. Small steps at first, and eventually big losses,\u201d he continued. <\/p>\n The Romanian Air Force deployed two F-16 fighter jets to track the drone presence before it disappeared near Chilia Veche, according to officials.<\/p>\n The country\u2019s leaders denounced the surprise onslaught of drones, citing security concerns for citizens.<\/p>\n \u201cRomania condemns Russia\u2019s reckless behavior, which threatens regional stability. Together with our @NATO<\/a> Allies, we remain vigilant and ready to defend every inch of Allied airspace,\u201d Ionut Mosteanu, Romania\u2019s Minister of National Defense said in a post<\/a> on X, noting the population was never in danger.\u00a0<\/p>\n On Wednesday, Russian drones were found in Polish airspace causing the country to invoke NATO\u2019s Article 4, convening member nations to develop a collective response to a potential threat.<\/p>\n President Trump told reporters the crossover into Polish territory \u201ccould have been a mistake,\u201d but other world figures rejected the notion, instead categorizing the measure as Moscow\u2019s escalation of war.<\/p>\n \u201cSanctions against Russia are needed. Tariffs against Russian trade are needed. Collective defense is needed \u2013 and Ukraine has proposed to its partners the creation of just such a system of protection,\u201d Zelensky said Saturday.<\/p>\n \u201cDo not wait for dozens of \u2018shaheds\u2019 and ballistic missiles before finally making decisions.\u201d<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Saturday condemned the presence of Russian drones in Romanian territory.
