Republic of Moldova said three Russian cruise missiles targeting Ukraine had violated Moldovan airspace on Monday and that it was summoning the Russian ambassador to demand explanations, according to Reuters.
“Three cruise missiles launched on Ukraine this morning from Russian ships in the Black Sea crossed Republic of Moldova’s airspace. I instructed that Russia‘s ambassador be summoned to provide an explanation,” Moldovan Foreign Minister Nicu Popescu wrote on Twitter.
Popescu stated that Republic Moldova condemned in the “strongest possible terms” the violation of its airspace and also condemned „Russia’s continued aggression against Ukraine.”
Ukraine was targeted by a wave of deadly missile strikes on Monday that appeared to be launched by Russia as revenge after President Vladimir Putin blamed an explosion on the bridge linking Russia with illegally annexed to Crimea on Ukrainian „terrorists.”
