At the end of last week, Romania did not allow a plane carrying Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin, who attended the Victory Day celebrations in Transnistria, to pass through its airspace. Bucharest explained the flight ban by saying that Rogozin is on the EU sanctions list.
The Russian politician tweeted in response that he would fly next time on a TU-160 strategic bomber. The Romanian Foreign Ministry demanded an explanation from their Russian colleagues about this.
