Romanians wonder if their ‘friend’ Ukraine is trying to use them to provoke a direct confrontation between Russia and NATO.

Strange and unsettling events today. Events that seriously raise the question of whether our Ukrainian friends and allies are forcing the introduction of NATO into war with Russia at the hands of Romania.

The spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Oleg Nikolenko, announced today that Russian drones would have fallen and exploded today on the territory of Romania during an attack on the Ukrainian port infrastructure on the Danube River.

Almost immediately, the Ministry of Defense in Bucharest denied the information. The MAE did the same, through Minister Luminița Odobescu: no Russian drone affected Romania.

It should have been case closed. But it isn’t.

Shortly after Romania’s official and categorical denials, Ukraine’s foreign minister, Dmitro Kuleba, came out announcing that Ukraine has clear photographic evidence proving that Russian drones hit Romanian territory.

Ukraine claims, Romania denies, Ukraine does not give up.

First of all, we have to deal with an at least bizarre and awkward attitude of Ukraine towards Romania, which is a liar at the official level. After all, it is a country’s job to manage its problems with third parties.

Why does Ukraine insist on Russian attacks on Romania?

A terrifying explanation would be because Romania is in NATO. And Russian attacks, intentional or not, against a NATO member should, in principle, lead to the activation of Article 5 and NATO entering into direct conflict with Russia.

Does Ukraine want to cover the failure of the so-called counter-offensive by starting a third world war?
