Putin allowed that the drone that flew into Romania could have been Ukrainian
Before an examination is conducted, no one can say who owns the drone that fell in Romania, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
He allowed that a Ukrainian drone could have flown into the country. On May 29, the Romanian Ministry of Defense reported that the drone hit the roof of a house in Galati, injuring two people.
No one can claim ownership of the drone that fell in Romania until an examination is conducted, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a press conference following his state visit to Kazakhstan.
The video was published on the Kremlin channel on Max.
"No one can say the origin of this or that aircraft until an examination of this aircraft has been conducted," Vladimir Putin noted.
In addition, the head of state promised that Russia will conduct an objective investigation and give an appropriate assessment if it is provided with objective data on the drone that fell in Romania.
At the same time, Vladimir Putin allowed that it could have been a Ukrainian drone. He recalled that drones from Ukraine had already violated the airspace of Finland, Poland, and the Baltic states. "The first reaction was exactly the same as now in Romania. Here comes the guard, the Russians are coming, the Russians are striking!" the Russian president pointed out.
On the morning of May 29, the Romanian Ministry of Defense reported that the drone hit the roof of a house in Galati, injuring two people. The Romanian Foreign Ministry blamed Russia for the incident and summoned Russian Ambassador Vladimir Lipaev. Romanian President Nicusor Dan said that Russian Consul General in Constanta Andrei Kosilin has been declared persona non grata in Romania, and the consulate itself will be closed.
