NATO member Romania has strongly denied a Ukrainian claim that a Russian drone detonated in Romanian territory during an overnight bombardment on one of Ukraine’s ports on the Danube River.
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko made the claim on Facebook. He said that according to Ukraine’s state border service, a Russian drone “fell and detonated on the territory of Romania” during an attack on the Ukrainian port of Izmail.
“This is yet another confirmation that Russia’s missile terror poses a huge threat not only to Ukraine’s security, but also to the security of neighboring countries, including NATO member states,” Nikolenko said.
Romania’s Defense Ministry quickly refuted the claim. “The Ministry of National Defense categorically denies information from the public space regarding a so-called situation that occurred during the night of September 3 to 4 in which Russian drones allegedly fell on the national territory of Romania,” it said.
The Romanian Defense Ministry added that “at no time did the means of attack used by the Russian Federation generate direct military threats to the national territory or the territorial waters of Romania.”
Russian attacks in the region risk an escalation as the Danube River acts as a border between Ukraine and Romania. The Ukrainian port of Izmail that was targeted is just across the river from NATO territory.
Ukrainian officials have previously made unfounded claims about Russian munitions hitting NATO territory. Last year, when a Ukrainian air defense missile hit Poland and killed two people, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy and his top aides claimed it was a Russian missile in an effort to get NATO to intervene directly.
Kiev never misses an opportunity to toss around lame BS, trying to drag others into its losing cause.
That’s because Kiev is crawling with Nazi jackoffs.
Even if it did, it’s not like the Anglo-American empire will go to war with the Russian Federation. These parasitic cowards will sit back and watch whole Europe gets destroyed.
That is the real point, Part II. Part I is destroyingvas much as possible the youth of Ukrainian majority — Orhodox Christian population. Shutting down their most revered monastery, forcing them essentially to accept State sponsored church, and Zekenski’s audacity to change Orthodox Christmas date to Western churches standard. Bugged him to have Ukrainian Christians folllow old Eastern calendar, He is forgetting his own eastern roots. And as many Russians dying — is a bonus.
I agree, Tradition is a thing most anathema to pomo’s, only consider the ire raised by the Pope’s admonition to Russians to love and cherish their Tradition.
They’ll happily assist with materiel, money, and propaganda to the last European.
Remember the Maine,the Gulf of Tonkin,anything to start or keep a conflictb going that makes money for the arms contractors. The death and destruction of a country and its culture are secondary to the US and its partners in crime.Other people just don’t matter.
The added diversion is a desperate attempt to keep growing to infinity on a finite planet. Representative democracies represent capital growth as a necessary condition of the capitalist system.
Even if such a thing happened, it would surely not be the cause of a war claim. Mistakes do happen during war, after all. Remember when NATO bombed the Chinese embassy in Belgrade during that war?
The CIA got to chose one target in that conflict, guess which one they chose.
Yes … And the administration was furious, supposedly. But they did claim it was a “mistake” …
I was thinking of writing the same thing but you beat me to it. NATO always says what they did was accidental and collateral damage and when Russia does it, it’s deliberate.
Well, as you know, we always have the best of intentions, no matter what the action, and the adversary always has the worst intention, no matter what they do.
LAPD has allegedly been spying on parties held at local parks with surveillance drones lately – at some point one of them is going to fail and drop into a crowd, putting someone’s eye out. i wonder what will they have to say for themselves when that happens
Russia did it.
ha!
At this point, Ukraine will do ANYTHING to provoke NATO into intervening to save their butts. Even the ultra-hawkish WSJ, and their pet, paid for idiot (errr, “military shill”) Brigadier general Kimmitt, admits in their article posted today that the Ukrainians are still only fighting in the “forward security zone”. After 3 months, and self-admitted very heavy losses.
Meanwhile, at the same time they try to bring NATO into the war, they are also threatening to sue the EU for putting in tariffs to prevent the dumping of Ukrainian grain onto their market. Nice; Beg me for help while suing me for money.
And, goading the Russians into striking civilian targets, putting more of their people at risk, by launching repeated, militarily useless attacks against shopping centers, office buildings and schools deep inside russia – again, in the hope that the western media will pronounce any retribution they get as “unprovoked war crimes” to trigger the stale “R2P” (responsibility to protect) doctrine NATO used so ineffectively in Libya.
If they want to keep acting this way, that’s on them, but this no longer has anything to do with their self defense, it’s the lashing out of an angry child that has finally realized it’s not going to get its way. Europe needs to say “enough”, and either force negotiations or stop supporting these lunatics. The Ukrainian people have had enough, and THEY are the ones who need to be saved, not Zelensky and his minions.
This. Ukraine is getting destroyed while the NATO cowards watch; Plus NATO not only won’t let Ukraine in, but won’t even tell them what they have to do get into NATO; Biden thought he was “showing strength” standing up to Russia using broken Ukrainian bodies; If he is smart he will allow peace talks before Zelensky sends Russian speaking Ukrainian troops dressed in Russian uniforms into Poland
Hah. Any Ukrainian men Zelensky sends into Poland will likely strip off their uniforms and stay there, blending in with the near 100,000 Ukrainians of military age already there.
Romania has strongly denied a Ukrainian claim that a Russian drone detonated in Romanian territory
strongly denied, not just regularly denied
You get the feeling they don’t want any part of this conflict?
“Bucharest Denies Ukrainian Claim That Russian Drone Hit Romania”
Just like the explosion in Poland that turned out to be a Ukrainian S300 missile. Zelensky and the criminal band will stop at nothing to foment war between NATO and Russia.
In fact, I saw a video in 2013 from BBC in which a Ukrainian stated that nuclear war between the Russians and America would be a very desirable outcome if they could arrange it!
It’s a death cult in some ways … Ukraine would probably be hit by both sides in a general nuke exchange.
One reason Henry Kissinger and his East German counterparts worked so hard for peace between Russia and America is that unlike Ukraine they did not want Germany to become a battleground between great powers.
No sane country lets their hatred overrule logic and survival of their tribe.
Eastern Europe is rife with tribal hatreds that go back 2,000 years. It is not a place for America of any other Civilized country to be mucking around.
It wasn’t Russia then.
Russian Empire, Soviet Union, or Russian Federation it is all the same when referring to the area located in Europe and Asia.

Here are some comments from a Romanian who lives in America.
He is not a friend of Ukraine.
Emil is one of my favorites. But, for some reason, weasels are not his favorite animals. (Sarcasm)
Strange. How dare Romania challenge Ukraine’s claims? Despite Romania receiving daily radiation from Ukraine’s beacon of truth, freedom, and democracy in Europe? Did Puteeeen hack Romania too? (Sarcasm)
Ukraine is desperate.
It must get NATO to intervene to fight this war, or lose.
The only reason NATO denies Russian missiles striking in their territory is they are afraid to confront Russia; They have no problem with Ukraine being destroyed and Ukrainians dying, but God forbid big, bad NATO has to actually fight Russia; The best way to handle this is a ceasefire, negotiate peace and start rebuilding Ukraine {with the usual heavy IMF debt to further destroy the Ukraine economy}; Ukraine is scared and will soon attack Poland in Wagner Group uniforms to start World War III;
Why would anyone still trust anything that comes out of Kyiv’s mouth? Lies left and right, repeated by mainstream pro-war media.
It’s evident that Romania doesn’t want to become another piss hole just like Ukraine. Thanks but no thanks clownenskyy.
Russian Defence Minister advised that the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the counteroffensive, amounted to more than 66 thousand servicemen (casualties) and 7,600 pieces of equipment.
Two years ago the United States and NATO abandoned Afghanistan in ruins. The country is wracked with poverty and barely functioning after the devastating US illegal war. The same fate awaits Ukraine, except on a far greater scale.
Our elites (predatory class) are monstrosities, unrestrained psychopaths.
