Russian Drones Violated Moldovan Airspace During Zelenskiy Transit

Zelenskiy disclosed the security breaches during an interview with CBS, detailing that the incidents took place during his outbound journey and subsequent return. Moldovan officials corroborated the accounts, noting that one drone eventually crashed in a field near the capital, sparking a fire. A second aircraft bypassed the immediate area and crossed into Romanian territory.

While no casualties occurred, these events highlight the fragility of regional transit routes. The president’s remarks provide the first public confirmation regarding the second drone incident. Although specific dates for the transit remain undisclosed, the breach underscores the persistent risk posed by stray munitions and reconnaissance craft operating near the borders of non-combatant nations.
