The terror campaign the Russian army is carrying out in Ukraine continued last weekend unabated. According to the Ukrainian Air Forces, Russia launched 67 long-range drones in a large-scale night attack against 11 Ukrainian regions. On their way to targets, these drones are also violating the air space of the countries neighboring Ukraine, as it happened again last nights. One of these Russian drones has crashed close to the town of Rezekne in eastern Latvia, 50 kilometers close to the borders of this NATO country with Belarus and Russia.<\/p>\n
Land troops and air surveillance devices belonging to Romania\u2019s Ministry of National Defence have been deployed to conduct search operations in the regions close to Periprava, in Tulcea County, south-eastern Romania, where parts of the drones the Russians used to bomb Ukraine\u2019s ports on the Danube have allegedly crashed.<\/p>\n
The Bucharest administration has announced that a Russian drone on Saturday night entered Romania\u2019s airspace on its way to Ukrainian targets. In response two F-16 fighters had been ordered to take off to monitor the situation and the General Inspectorate for Emergency situations had issued heads-up in the counties of Tulcea and Constanta, in Romania\u2019s south-east, against the risk of falling debris.<\/p>\n
On Sunday morning the Romanian Ministry of Defence briefed the allied structures over the situation created and conveyed a firm message of condemning these attacks mounted by the Russian Federation against elements of Ukrainian civil infrastructure, which the Romanian side considers \u2018unjustified and in severe contradiction with international law\u2019.<\/p>\n
A protest message has also been issued by the Romanian Foreign Ministry. The diplomacy in Bucharest said the radars of Romania\u2019s armed forces had identified a drone, which violated the country\u2019s airspace on its way to an Ukrainian target, and called for the cessation of Russia\u2019s irresponsible escalation of the security situation.<\/p>\n
Romania\u2019s Foreign Ministry has also called for the observance of the rule of law including in the case involving the inviolability of Romania\u2019s airspace and has reiterated its vehement condemnation of these illegal attacks. Since the onset of the Russian invasion of that country in February 2022, Russian troops have launched thousands of missiles and long-range drones against various military and civil objectives causing numerous victims against the population. Following these attacks, a series of Russian drones fell on the Romanian territory mostly in unpopulated areas. In order to fight off such attacks, Romania has joined the countries that are donating to Ukraine some of their surface-to-air Patriot missiles.<\/p>\n
