Then the drone returned to Ukrainian airspace and was destroyed by Ukrainian air defense forces.
“One of the drones, which was sent to the Odessa region, had very difficult maneuvering. Obviously, a route was provocatively laidwith the crossing of the state border on its Ukrainian-Moldavian section. We recorded this border crossing. Having flown there for several tens of kilometers, the drone returned to Ukrainian airspace and was destroyed by air defense forces,” Gumenyuk said. In total, there is not enough information on this matter.
“Unfortunately, we already have such experience in course of a full-scale invasion. First they say that nothing happened, and then the situation becomes clearer. In all likelihood, the preliminary information was not very carefully verified. We will continue to cooperate with our partners. I think that clarity will be made quite soon,” added Gumenyuk.
- Late in the evening of February 26, the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Moldova stated that not a single drone launched by the Russian Federation today flew over Ukraine over the airspace of the Republic of Moldova.
- About a week ago, new fragments of a drone similar to the Geranium-2 UAV were discovered in Moldova, in approximately the same place as those found the previous weekend.
