Romania Counters Ukraine’s Russian Missiles Claims

Romania has countered Ukraine’s claims that two of Russia rockets crossed the country on their way to Ukraine.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said several Russian missiles had flown over Moldova and Romania on Friday, and that they were a challenge to the military alliance and collective security.

Zelenskyy said; “The enemy launched at least 70 rockets in another massive attack on Ukraine.

“Several Russian missiles passed through the airspace of Moldova and Romania.

"These missiles are a challenge to NATO and collective security. This is terror that can and must be stopped.”

But in a foreign ministry statement, Romania said; “Authorities had detected an aerial target launched from the Black Sea from a ship of the Russian Federation but at no point did it intersect with Romania’s airspace.”

The statement concluded by saying that the Romanian Air Force is permanently monitoring the national air space and the immediate surrounding area.
