Russia menaces NATO with bombardments as it celebrates the Day of Russian Orc the Invader
5/10/2014 6:55:06 PM
Romania has demanded from Moscow for an explanation after Russia's deputy prime minister, Dmitry Rogozin, reacting to being barred from its airspace, tweeted he would return in a TU-160 strategic bomber.
Rogozin, one of the senior Russian officials sanctioned by the European Union and United States after Moscow moved to annex Crimea, was turned away when his plane tried to fly to Moscow from Russian-occupied Moldova's province of Transnistria.
According to his tweets in English, Rogozin, who oversees Russia's powerful arms industry, was also blocked by Ukrainian interceptor jets as he tried to fly home from Moldova bordering Ukraine.
"Upon US request, Romania has closed its airspace for my plane," he tweeted. "Ukraine doesn't allow me to pass through again. Next time I'll fly on board TU-160." The supersonic Soviet-era TU-160 is Russia's largest strategic bomber.
On Saturday the Romanian foreign ministry asked Moscow to clarify whether Rogozin's comments represented "the Russian Federation's official position towards Romania as an EU and Nato member".
It said it "believes the threat of using a Russian strategic bomber plane by a Russian deputy prime minister is a very grave statement under the current regional context."
It added that "the Russian Federation has broken Ukraine's territorial sovereignty ... while pro-Russian separatists are violating public order in the neighbouring state."
The statement said Romania was abiding by the sanctions imposed by the European Union against Russia. Rogozin, an avid user of social media, posted on his Facebook page the Romanian message to him citing the relevant European Council decisions.
Travel bans are among the limited sanctions western states have imposed on some Russian and pro-Moscow Ukrainian political and business leaders, including Rogozin.
In another tweet sent one hour before he was turned away, Rogozin said: "this morning I met with the Command of the Joint Staff of Russian Forces in Transnistria."
In other tweets, Rogozin said he attended celebrations on Friday in Tiraspol, provincial capital of Transnistria, to drink vodka during celebrations of the bloody holiday of The Day of Russian Orc the Invader commemorating Russian atrocities in Russian-unleashed WWII.
Russia invaded Romania in 1944, annexed its provinces of Moldova and Transnitria and established a gristly occupation regime. Hundred thousands of peaceful Romanians were brutally killed, plundered. deported and raped by Russian soldiery, the Orcs, as they are called by dissident Russians.
