Quote: “Today, Romania scrambled combat aircraft because of a Russian drone in its airspace. According to current data, the drone penetrated about 10 km into Romanian territory and operated in NATO airspace for around 50 minutes.
Also today, Poland responded militarily to the threat of Russian attack drones.”
Details: Zelenskyy also added that, according to early reports, Russia had used Belarusian airspace on Saturday 13 September to launch drones into Ukrainian airspace towards Volyn Oblast.
“The 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. It is an obvious expansion of the war by Russia – and this is exactly how they act. Small steps at first, and eventually big losses,” he emphasised.
Zelenskyy called for preventive action “based on the principle that there are no minor military threats from those who are accustomed to destroying the independence and lives of others”.
“Sanctions against Russia are needed. Tariffs against Russian trade are needed. Collective defence is needed – and Ukraine has proposed to its partners the creation of just such a system of protection. Do not wait for dozens of Shaheds and ballistic missiles before finally making decisions,” he stressed.
Background:
- On the afternoon of 13 September, the Romanian authorities issued an RO-Alert message for the northern area of Tulcea County, informing citizens about a likelihood of objects falling from the airspace and urging them to take necessary safety steps.
- In addition, Poland scrambled its aircraft after a Russian drone threat emerged in Ukrainian regions bordering Poland. Lublin Airport suspended its operations.

So much for the hot air that was wasted by Western leaders. The mafia terrorists send another drone into another NATO country, and this NATO country is either totally incapable or too totally scared to down it. This is just like the movie Groundhog Day.
TACO will call it another mistake by his idol. This is what happens when fear and cowardice are allowed to fester. Not one European leader has threatened retaliation against the vermin.
I often wonder what it would take for any of the jellyfish to finally grow a spine. Is there any hope?
