      What do you mean guess? Drones are not random weather effect. Ukraine knows its targets and ship full of their own grain is not on the list for sure. Let’s think who else sends drone all day everyday in that part of the world, oh it’s Russia, innit?

        Ty for showing how little effort the source did on journalism.

        And it’s literally point 2 where the ones attacked aren’t even saying what happened yet

        Ukraine attributed the attack to two Russian drones, while Romania has not named a suspect and Russia did not mention the vessel.

          I’m a little lost on why It’s not credible to trust a nations report that’s in active conflict with Russia, so they’re more than likely following Russian activity very closely…

          Being attacked by someone doesn’t magically reveal who the attacker is, so why does it matter if Romania hasn’t named anyone???
