Romania's airspace has been repeatedly violated by drones of the aggressor country, so NATO has asked Ukraine to shoot down Russian air targets flying into its territory.

This is reported by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. It should be noted that this is not the first time Romania has complained about the violation of its airspace, and has already contacted the Alliance about this.

Romania has asked Ukraine for help regarding Russian UAVs

The newly elected Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Andriy Sybiga, paid a working visit not only to Slovakia, where he met with the scandalous Robert Fico, but also to Romania on Wednesday, September 18.

As the above-mentioned publication notes, the Ukrainian diplomat held talks with his Romanian counterpart Luminita Odobescu and the country's Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu and received an interesting request.

NATO country Romania asked Sibiga in Bucharest to shoot down Russian drones, – says the FAZ article.

Country concerned about airspace violation

Romanian Defense Minister Angel Tilvar has already asked NATO to take “decisive coordinated” measures in response to incidents in which Russian missiles or drones fired at Ukraine violated the Alliance's airspace.

In addition, the heads of the defense ministries of Poland and Latvia have come up with an initiative to immediately introduce the rotation of NATO air defense systems on the eastern flank. The joint statement of the ministers of the “Bucharest Nine” generally condemns Russia's actions and reaffirms the need for a collective response to security threats.
