Fresh weekend drama in Eastern Europe! Romania became the latest NATO member to spot a drone pop up in its skies as Russian drones struck infrastructure in neighboring Ukraine.✈️🚨
Late Saturday, Bucharest scrambled two F-16 fighter jets after the drones buzzed over the border near Chilia Veche. The jets tracked the intruder until it vanished from radar. Meanwhile in Poland, helicopters and aircraft joined battle-ready NATO forces, and ground defense systems are on full alert. ⚡️🚁
Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy warns this isn't a random glitch—he sees a clear escalation by Russia. His message? Ramp up sanctions and tighten defense ties now, before more Shahed drones and missiles hit home.🛑💣
Across the pond, former U.S. President Donald Trump jumped in: he's ready to slap "major sanctions" on Russia if all NATO nations agree and stop buying Russian oil. ⛽️💥 Meanwhile, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio flagged the Polish airspace incursion as "highly escalatory".
And on the flip side, Russia says Ukraine struck one of its biggest oil refineries near Ufa, sparking a blaze but only minor damage. Kyiv's shadowy GUR military intelligence agency took credit, part of its strategy to choke the Kremlin's fuel cash flow.🔥🛢️
From jet scrambles to oil fires, this drone saga is playing out like a real-life game of Risk—every move counts. Stay tuned as NATO neighbors boost defenses and the sanctions debate heats up!🌍✊
