General Valery Zaluzhny reported that during a massive missile attack on February 10,2 Russian missiles flew into the territory of Moldova and Romania. The latter is a member of NATO.
Romania stated that the missiles had never been on its territory. Military expert Oleg Zhdanov responded to the incident.
“The Romanian Ministry of Defense officially says that the missiles did not enter its airspace, but turned to the north-east of the border. We immediately began to blame NATO. Explain the position of Romania. In my opinion, she did everything right. Perhaps, this is not even the position of Romania, but NATO,” the expert noted.

What Putin Wants
According to Zhdanov, Vladimir Putin is trying to provoke NATO. The military expert recalled incidents with missiles in Poland, with Russian aircraft in Estonia, when they violated its airspace.
I believe our Commander-in-Chief that the missiles entered the territory of Romania. Putin wants NATO to recognize this fact. If they do, then Putin will ask for evidence and negotiations will begin. This is the essence of it all. Putin wants to drag NATO into negotiations directly with Russia, Zhdanov believes.
He noted that Putin seeks to negotiate directly with Western leaders and resolve global issues. The second option, according to Zhdanov, is for Putin to hope that negotiations with NATO could contribute to a temporary ceasefire.
then Russia would accuse NATO of aggressive actions. The Russian president could say that it is necessary to discuss the issue without fail. Therefore, Romania's position is absolutely correct,” Zhdanov said.
He added that NATO is trying to distance themselves so as not to turn the Russian-Ukrainian war into a world war.
Note! In Romania, they said that the Russian missile was 35 kilometers from the border.
