“We regard what is happening – including the illegal entry of Russian drones into our airspace, in fact their intrusion into the airspace of the Republic of Moldova and Romania – as deliberate, intentional acts, provocations designed to test, so to speak, the preparedness or reaction of these states, and to see how capable they are of reacting promptly and very firmly. For the time being, we are tracking them and trying to shoot these drones down; however, I regret to say that, as things stand, our response is not sufficient to prevent even more serious incidents,” said Rohovei on the programme “Eurosecuritate” on “Vocea Basarabiei”.
The diplomat stated that such incidents have become more frequent and called for more active military cooperation, as well as a firmer political stance from the affected states.
“We are seeing that the number of these illegal incursions into the airspace of the Republic of Moldova, Romania and Poland is increasing. As far as I am aware, you have already had 84 such cases recently. Since the start of the war, but more than half have occurred this year. This year. This is a very serious warning sign and must be treated very seriously. We need active military cooperation to prevent this from happening and, secondly, we need a much tougher political stance towards these acts – let us say – of serious violation of international law, and of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine’s neighbouring states,” said the diplomat.
We would like to remind you that on the morning of 3 October, within a period of approximately 15 minutes, five aerial vehicles crossed the airspace of the Republic of Moldova and exploded near several towns and villages in four districts of the country. These consisted of three missiles and two drones.
The Moldovan authorities have condemned the attacks and the violation of the country’s airspace. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Russian Federation’s ambassador to Chișinău, Oleg Ozerov, and handed him a note of protest.
