The Kremlin did not want to comment on the information about the passage of a Russian missile through the airspace of the Republic of Moldova on Friday.
“No, I couldn’t comment on that. This is directly related to the military special operation itself, these are matters that belong to the Ministry of Defense,” the spokesman of the Russian president Dmytro Peskov told the press, quoted by the TASS agency, Agerpres reports.
Ukrainian army chief Valery Zaluzhny initially announced that two Russian cruise missiles had entered the airspace of Romania and the Republic of Moldova on Friday before entering Ukraine in a massive Russian attack in the morning.

Instead, the Romanian Ministry of Defense said that the aerial target, most likely a cruise missile launched from the Black Sea from a Russian Federation ship, near the Crimean Peninsula, crossed the airspace of the Republic of Moldova and was detected on Friday by the air surveillance system of the Romanian Air Force. but did not enter Romanian airspace.
