Moscow has dismissed Romania\u2019s claims that a Russian UAV violated the country\u2019s airspace as \u201cmade up\u201d and \u201cunfounded\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n Moscow has rejected allegations that a Russian drone violated Romanian airspace, stressing that no evidence has been presented to prove the unmanned aircraft belonged to Russia. <\/p>\n The Romanian Defense Ministry earlier reported that its forces had detected a drone entering national airspace near the border with Ukraine on Saturday. Defense Minister Ionut Mosteanu said two F-16 fighter jets were scrambled and were close to shooting the aircraft down before it changed direction and returned toward Ukraine. He added that such incidents occur “approximately every week.”<\/em><\/p>\n However, the Russian Embassy in Bucharest has dismissed the claims, emphasizing that the Romanian side has failed to provide any concrete proof of the UAV’s origin. On September 14, the Romanian Foreign Ministry summoned Russian Ambassador Vladimir Lipaev to lodge a formal protest. Following the meeting, the embassy stated that “not a single specific and convincing answer was given to any question about the identification of the drone that allegedly flew into Romanian airspace.”<\/em><\/p>\n “Due to the lack of objective confirmation of the nationality of the aircraft, the protest of the Romanian side was rejected as far-fetched and unfounded,”<\/em> the embassy said. Lipaev also emphasized that “all the facts indicate that in reality there was a deliberate provocation by the Kiev regime,”<\/em> suggesting it was an attempt by Ukraine to drag NATO into a direct confrontation with Russia.<\/p>\n
