Recently, information about the air strikes of Romanian F-16 fighters across the border against Russian troops has been circulating on the network. However, the Romanian military has already denied this information and stressed that the Romanian Air Force does not have F-16C fighters. Sources say the F-16C took off from Constanta airbase, but the Romanian military did not provide further information. In response to these rumors, the Russian Ministry of Defense did not comment. Romania, for its part, urgently issued an official statement calling the news "completely fake" and urging people not to believe "this absurdity".
It is worth noting that Romania has always supported Ukraine in the conflict in Ukraine, and previously held the inauguration of the Eurofighter training center to train pilots for Ukraine to fly F-16 fighters. At the same time, the Netherlands and Denmark have also agreed to hand over F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, but the specific take-off and landing locations have not yet been determined. In general, there is currently no conclusive evidence that the news of an air strike by Romanian F-16 fighters across the border against Russian troops is true. Maria Zakharova, a spokeswoman for Russia, said that Gavrilov's remarks do not represent the position of Russia, and that he is just the personal opinion of an individual.
At the same time, she stressed that Russia has always been committed to resolving the conflict in Ukraine through diplomatic means and called on all parties to exercise restraint and dialogue. Countries such as Poland, Romania, and Slovakia are NATO members and have close security ties with Ukraine. NATO has already deployed a certain number of F-16 fighters in these countries, aimed at strengthening the region's defense capability. These deployments are in response to Russia's actions in the conflict in Ukraine and to maintain stability in the region. In recent years, tensions between Russia and NATO have intensified, and the two sides are at odds over issues such as Ukraine and Syria. Russia has repeatedly stated that NATO's military deployment poses a threat to it and has responded with a series of military measures.
But at the same time, Russia has also expressed its readiness to resolve differences through dialogue and its desire to maintain cooperative relations with its neighbors. In short, Gavrilov's remarks represent only the views of individual people and do not represent the position of Russia. Russia still calls on all parties to resolve their differences through dialogue and maintain peace and stability in the region.
