Cherevashenko on Russian drone incursions into Moldova: these are planned actions

Ukrainian Deputy Commander of the Air Forces, Yuriy Cherevashenko, stated during a Verkhovna Rada meeting that recent Russian drone incursions into Moldova's airspace are deliberate actions. While a small percentage of drones might have been affected by electronic warfare, the presence of repeaters in the Black Sea region allows for more accurate targeting, suggesting these are planned incursions.

Cherevashenko also pointed to Belarus' involvement in facilitating Russian drones to reach Ukraine's western regions, stating that without repeaters, such attacks would be challenging. He noted that Belarus aids in the transit of Russian drones through the country, although direct launches from Belarus are not documented. Cherevashenko emphasized that the appearance of Russian drones near Poland is largely due to Belarusian involvement, effectively creating opportunities for Russia to conduct these attacks.
