Russian kamikaze drones regularly invaded Romanian airspace during massive attacks on Ukrainian port infrastructure.

As reported by NBN with reference to the YouTube channel Apostrophe TV, a statement was made by the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who is now the Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK, Valeriy Zaluzhny: Bucharest asked Kyiv not to disseminate information regarding the fall of Russian kamikaze drones on Romanian territory.
Based on Zaluzhny’s words, it is mainly the leaders of the Baltic states (Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) who are skeptical about the effectiveness of NATO’s Article 5 (if an attack is made on one of the member states of the defense bloc, such actions are considered a war against the entire North Atlantic Alliance).
The former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces added that an identical opinion has also been partially formed in Poland, on whose territory either Ukrainian missiles or the ammunition of a terrorist state similarly “periodically” fall. In addition, the Romanian authorities understand “everything at all,” but prefer to remain silent and give appropriate recommendations to Kyiv.
Zaluzhny cited the above-described communication as an example, apparently with his Romanian colleague:
Why did you turn on your electronic warfare systems? They [Russian UAVs] flew towards us [Romania did not shoot down enemy targets, despite the fact that it has 40 F-16 fighters in service, because it feared “an escalation of the conflict”].
Earlier we wrote that Zaluzhny reported losses of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the war against the Russian Federation.
