Kuleba: "We are ready to share photographic evidence with Romania that 'Shakhtys' fell on its territory"

Ukraine is ready to share with Romania photographic evidence of the crash and detonation of Shahed combat drones on its territory, launched by Russian troops, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said, Interfax-Ukraine reports.

"We claim authoritatively and with evidence that these were Shahed drones. There is no point in denying it, because there is photographic evidence of what fell there. And we are ready to share them," Kuleba said on Monday while talking to journalists.

According to the minister, the Romanian side has now taken a break to fully investigate the incident and draw conclusions.

At the same time, he notes, "there is a tendency on the part of Romania to try not to escalate the interpretation of certain events in order not to be drawn into a direct conflict."

"This applies not only to the events in Ukraine, but also when Poland suffered from an artificial influx of migrants from Belarus and tried to raise a wave in NATO, it was also told: let's not escalate too much," Kuleba said.

Also, according to him, the Romanian authorities should not only draw conclusions from this event, but also state what they will do about it. "That's why there is such a very cautious reaction on their part," the minister explained.

As reported, Ukraine's Foreign Ministry announced the downing and detonation of a Shahed UAV on Romanian territory during Russia's massive attack near the port of Izmail on the night of September 4.

Later, the Romanian Ministry of Defense "categorically denied" the information about the downing of Russian drones on Romanian territory on the night of September 4, stating that in none of the episodes did the strike weapons used by Russia pose a direct military threat to their national territory or territorial waters.
