BUCHAREST, July 27. /TASS/. Russian Ambassador to Bucharest Vladimir Lipaev said he views his summoning to the Romanian foreign ministry over the alleged violation of the country’s air borders by Russian drones on July 24-26 as a propaganda show.
"Obviously, this was a propaganda show meant to prevent further strikes by the Russian armed forces against Ukrainian port infrastructure on the Danube and in the Black Sea, which is actively used by NATO for supplying the Ukrainian army with weapons and equipment via Romania’s territory," he told TASS.
According to the Russian diplomat, "as usual, the Romanian side limited itself to unsubstantiated, baseless accusations against Russia, refusing to disclose any technical flight parameters that would make it possible to identify the drones and failed to provide any substantial evidence of their origin."
"The Romanian side was warned about the risks of further escalation of the confrontation with Russia and dragging Romania’s armed forces into direct hostilities in the Ukrainian airspace," Lipaev noted. "It was stressed once again that Russia has never targeted combat drones at facilities in Romania and is not doing this, and that any speculations on this topic are absolutely groundless." "It was specially stressed that continuing support for the Kiev terrorist regime in any format is absolutely inadmissible and unacceptable," he added.
