« Two Russian Kalibr cruise missiles crossed the state border of Ukraine with the Republic of Moldova . At around 10:33, these missiles crossed Romanian airspace and then re-entered Ukrainian airspace at the intersection of the tri-state border. The missiles were launched from the Black Sea."

This was announced by the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny on Facebook.

News that rekindles fears of a further escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the specter of possible involvement of NATO states, should one of the member countries of the Alliance be hit by Moscow's forces.

To further raise the tension, in the aftermath of Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Brussels , the words of the vice president of the Russian security council Dmitri Medvedev, who launched a new verbal attack on US president Joe Biden : «The old Biden seems to be ready for a second term. What was noticed on the first one: he confuses names, surnames, dates and gets lost in his own office. And he keeps secret documents in the garage of his personal home; spent more than a hundred billion dollars on a collapsing country, but dumps all the US economic problems on the machinations of Russia. A third world war can start because of distraction ,” said the former Russian president.

And Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov also raises the tone against "those who have decided to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia and who have decided to adopt the sad experience of Napoleon and Hitler , openly declaring the goal of destroying Russia or weakening it as much as possible. Their demands for the dismemberment of our homeland - adds Lavrov - are getting louder and louder." But the minister affirms, as reported by Ria Novosti, "it is clear that not only will we survive but we will come out of this confrontation even stronger".
