Sybiha comments on drone incidents in Moldova and Romania
The foreign ministers of Ukraine, Romania and Moldova are in contact following Russia's violations of the airspace of neighboring countries, while the issue of joint countermeasures will be discussed at the Odesa Triangle summit.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha commented on Russian drone incidents in Moldova and Romania. He stated that Russia violated the airspace of Moldova and Romania during an overnight attack on Ukraine and targeted a Ukrainian-Moldovan border crossing. Sybiha emphasized that Moldova, alongside Moldovan counterpart Mihai Popșoi and Romanian counterpart Oana Țoiu, would continue to closely coordinate actions to counter Russia's aggressive attempts to escalate the ongoing war.
These concerns will be addressed at the upcoming Odesa Triangle Summit to enhance regional security and protect critical infrastructure. Sybiha stressed that Russia's unlawful and aggressive actions must face consequences, and their collective response should surpass Russia's attempts to test unity and resolve. Moldova's National Army detected an unauthorized drone flight within its airspace on August 20, believed to be a Geran-2-type drone.
The drone flew from Ukraine near the village of Kotlovyna in the Reni district, crossed into Moldovan airspace from 03:16 to 03:22, and then exited the country towards Ukraine.
