Ukraine claimed that Russia attacked Romania with drones, in a clear effort to get NATO countries to join the war. Romania says: No they didn’t.
Ukraine tried this last year when they claimed that Russia had attacked Poland with a drone strike. That drone strike turned out to have been launched by Ukraine.
This is a dangerous game of false flag escalation. Thankfully it isn’t working but you would think it would cool Western support to Ukraine. It hasn’t.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken will visit Kyiv today. He is expected to announce an additional $1 billion in U.S. military aid to Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Ukraine has ousted defense minister Aleksey Reznikov. He had already tendered his resignation. Critics say that he was one of the main drivers of corruption inside Ukraine. Clearly it goes way deeper than just one person. Before the war, it was widely agreed that Ukraine is the most corrupt nation in Europe. Let’s not pretend this is a one-off, shall we?
