Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiga appealed to international allies to provide maximum support to Ukraine after Russian drones violated the airspace of Romania and Latvia. Sybiga emphasized that these incidents endanger not only the security of Ukraine, but also peace and stability in the whole of Europe.
"Today, Russian drones violated the airspace of Romania and Latvia. This is a reminder: Russia's aggressive actions go beyond the borders of Ukraine. The collective response of the allies should be maximum support for Ukraine now in order to put an end to Russian aggression, protect lives and preserve peace in Europe," Sybiga wrote.
He noted that for this Ukraine needs specific actions of allies.
"A bold collective decision to use air defense systems of partners to shoot down Russian missiles and drones over Ukraine. Stronger and faster military aid to Ukrainian soldiers. Removal of restrictions on the use of weapons by Ukraine. Act now," Sibyga stressed.
The President of Latvia Edgars Rinkevičs reported that a Russian military drone crashed in the east of Latvia on September 7. The investigation is ongoing.
In addition, a group of Russian strike UAVs violated the airspace of Romania.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland distanced itself from the words of its head, Radoslaw Sikorsky, about the shooting down of missiles over the territory of Ukraine.
Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said in an interview with the British daily Financial Times that "Poland and other countries bordering Ukraine are obliged to shoot down Russian missiles before they enter their airspace."
