Why is Romania denying that the drones fell on their territory? Is it them, is it NATO or is it something else? I don’t understand for them to deny what obviously took place, even if they were to call it accidental and do nothing.

Can't wait for your interview with General Hoges. As far as I'm concerned he's views are the most coherent idea's out there. Let's really let Ukraine win the war. Give them what they need now! Not in tiny increments. Support they're push to Crimea militarily and come out and say we want Ukraine to win. No more dancing around.
