President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that incidents involving Russian drones crossing into European countries are a form of political pressure by Russia against Ukraine's partners, and stated that Ukraine is trying to intercept all enemy drones.
He made the remarks in an interview with CBS News, as reported by Ukrinform.
Commenting on the incident in the Romanian city of Galați, where a Russian attack drone crashed into an apartment building, Zelensky said that Russia uses such actions as a tool of political pressure.
"I think it's political pressure. It's messages from Russia, don't help Ukraine. I think this is the most- the most usual meaning, what, what he used, don't - if you will - help Ukraine, (or) I will do these such steps," Zelensky said.
He recalled that similar incidents first occurred near Romania's border and that in the autumn of 2025, more than 20 Russian drones flew deep into Polish territory.
