Putin's comment on the drone strike on Romania
President of Russia Vladimir Putin said he had only just learned about the case drone strike on the territory of Romania. He suggested that the drone could have belonged to Ukraine. Putin compared this situation to previous cases when Ukrainian drones had penetrated the airspace of other countries.
Previous incidents with Ukrainian drones in Europe
According to Putin, Ukrainian drones had previously flown into Finland, Poland and the Baltic states. At the time, there were panicked statements in society about a possible Russian offensive, but later it turned out that they were Ukrainian drones. These incidents were part of a broader context affecting regional security.
Parallels between the crises in Ukraine and Armenia
Putin noted that the Ukrainian crisis began with a similar situation to the one we are witnessing now in Armenia. His words underline the link between regional conflicts and the possible impact of drone incidents on political dynamics in these countries. This increases tensions in the region and calls into question the stability of neighbouring states.
Putin refuses to name a timeframe for ending the war
During his speech, Vladimir Putin also said that he was not ready to name a specific timeframe for the end of the war against Ukraine. According to the Kremlin leader, the situation at the front remains dynamic, and therefore he will not predict the timing of the end of hostilities.
«It is impossible to give specific dates for the end of the conflict in Ukraine, I will not do so,» Putin said.
At the same time, the Russian president claims that the Russian army is allegedly continuing an active offensive along the entire front line.
«Our troops are advancing in all directions every single day,» he said.
