Russia launches the main attack strikes in Ukraine near NATO on the NATO border

Two German war aircraft were scrambled during the Night of Romania after Russia launched a large -scale missile and a drone attack in Ukraine less than a mile from the NATO limit.

The Department of Defense of Romania said on Wednesday that two German Typhoon Eurofighter planes, parked at the Mihail Kogălniceanu air base in Romania, as part of the NATO air force mission, have not been deployed “to monitor the air situation”, but noted that this time, no Russian or projectile plane has crossed the NATO border.

Despite last week’s talks between Russian president Vladimir Putin and President Donald Trump, Moscow continued his air bombing in Ukraine, including in a night attack that targeted the oil and port facilities in the Odesa region over and near the Danube river, which separates the Ukrainian border with the Allied country of Romania.
