Russia Challenges Romania's Explanation of Unmanned Boat Explosion

Regarding the explosion of Ukrainian unmanned boats in Romanian ports, Maria Zakharova, a spokesperson for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, raised ‘three questions’ to the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs through social media on the 7th.

Three questions are: When does Romania plan to close its representative office in Ukraine or expel Ukrainian diplomats? When does Romania plan to apologize to Romanian citizens for the endless anti-Russian lies? When will Romania stop funding the Kiev regime?

On the 5th, the Romanian Ministry of Defense announced that an explosion occurred near the port of Constanta in the eastern part of the country. Later, the Romanian side admitted that the incident involved a Romanian unmanned boat, but stated that the boat became out of control due to electronic interference from Russia. The Romanian side had contacted the Romanian authorities and issued a warning in advance.

Romania's President Nicolae Dan reported the explosion to Russia. The Russian side denied this, stating that the unmanned boat belonged to Ukraine and linking it to Russia was baseless.
