As a reminder, in the Cahul district of Moldova, outside the village of Velen, police discovered numerous fragments of an unmanned aerial vehicle. Based on an examination of the materials, markings, and design features, experts identified the debris as a Russian copy of the Shahed-type strike drone “Geran-2.”
The Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned its citizens about heightened checks, interrogations lasting several hours, and instances of coercion to sign contracts with the Russian Ministry of Defense when attempting to enter Russian territory.
