Romania opposes a No Fly-Zone on Ukraine fearing confrontation with Russia

Romania is opposing a proposed No-Fly Zone on Ukraine by Poland. The No Fly Zone as proposed by Poland’s Foreign Affairs Minister Radoslaw Sikorski is intended to exclusively shoot down Russian objects targeting NATO countries. According to the Romanian President, Nicusor Dan, the proposal would effectively bring Romania at war with Russia.

At the end of the last week, a Russian drone entered Romanian airspace but the Romanian air force escorted the drone back to Ukraine instead of shooting it down. Last week, Poland and NATO allies shot down up to 10 Russian drones in Poland. NATO and the US have refused to acknowledge the attack. NATO jets are now patrolling Polish skies and the Polish military moved its unit closer to the border with Belarus and Russia.

Russian officials including Dmitry Peskov and Dmitry Medvedev reacted to Poland’s proposal with typical belligerent rhetoric stating that a No Fly Zone in Ukraine would be equivalent to a declaration of war against Russia. Below are Medvedev’s comments from his Telegram group.

    Hi Mark. For days, I have been trying to access the main page of your website and receiving an ‘access denied’ message. This has happened in both Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome (I have not tested other browsers), and different computers in different buildings.

    The only way I am able to access something is indirectly by going to a news page and then clicking ‘previous’ and ‘next’ to access other stories, but even then, there comes a point where a new page will return the ‘access denied’ message.

    Clearly, something is wrong on your end. If you have seen a drop in traffic recently, it’s because of this.

    Russia declares army drills in Belarus are over: Polish border with Belarus still closed - The Maltese Herald

    […] Poland has closed the Belarusian border on September 9th as the military exercises in Belarus were about to start. Soon after, Poland experienced an incursion by Russian drones. The Polish border with Belarus has not been opened yet despite requests from China, and there seems to be no plan for its reopening. While the drills were taking place in Belarus, Russia also launched a drone to Romania which was escorted back to Ukraine. […]
