Russian drones increasingly breach Moldovan and Romanian airspace
Incursions have grown more frequent, with Zelenskyy's plane grounded in Chisinau this week amid suspected deliberate targeting.
Russian military drones have been making repeated intrusions into the airspace of Moldova and Romania, according to observers cited by Deutsche Welle. This week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's aircraft was prevented from taking off from Moldova's capital, Chisinau, as a result of the drone activity.
Analysts suspect the incursions are intentional operations rather than accidental violations, though no official claims of responsibility have been made. The pattern reflects an expansion of drone operations beyond Ukraine's borders into neighboring NATO and non-aligned territories.
