A Russian kamikaze drone on Wednesday flew into NATO air space and detonated near a Romanian village, Ukrainian news reports said, but official Bucharest said the fact of the strike wasn’t confirmed and that they would check.

Ukrainian social media video recorded in the river port city of Izmail, opposite Plaura, showed an orange flash lighting up the night horizon and a booming blast on the Romanian side of the river. Flames and smoke reaching hundreds of meters into the sky were visible following the explosion. A Russian kamikaze drone strike against Izmail had been in progress at the time.

Why doesn't Russia just go home? Why is it up to Ukraine to do anything but defend itself?

They signed a treaty so are beholdent to the terms of the treaty.

Russia wont just go home because they see Ukraine joining nato as an direct threat to their survival. Why did NATO agree to consider Ukraine as a potential NATO member when they knew it would likely cause war?

Russia pushed Ukraine into seeking NATO membership when they attacked them in 2014. Ukraine was neutral before that.

And NATO pushed Russia to take over Crimea when it helped to overthrow an elected government. Where does it stop?

I love how Russia invading other countries is always everyone else's fault. Hilarious.

So you think its irrelevant what the opinions of other countries just as long as your government thinks its right? How many wars could have been avoided by listening to the grievances of other cultures?
