A Russian kamikaze drone on Wednesday flew into NATO air space and detonated near a Romanian village, Ukrainian news reports said, but official Bucharest said the fact of the strike wasn’t confirmed and that they would check.

Ukrainian social media video recorded in the river port city of Izmail, opposite Plaura, showed an orange flash lighting up the night horizon and a booming blast on the Romanian side of the river. Flames and smoke reaching hundreds of meters into the sky were visible following the explosion. A Russian kamikaze drone strike against Izmail had been in progress at the time.

      Since we’re providing missiles to Ukraine, a whole bunch of NATO missiles are landing in Crimea, I’m sure. I’d prefer if the war ended, personally, with a fully independent Ukraine.

      Sorry for not wanting a massive death toll over something that literally doesn’t matter at all. If Russia intentionally hit some Romanian village with an attack, then a response would be justified. Some random trash accidentally crashing near the border doesn’t matter.

      That doesn’t make me a russian troll, it just makes me a relatively sensible person.
