The drone that crashed on June 25 in Puiești, Vaslui County, is not a Russian aircraft, but one inscribed with a message in Ukrainian, according to online posts citing a fake photo wrongly posted by the publication Vremea Veche. In the fake photo, the Ukrainian slogan "Peremoha Bude” can be read, which means "There will be victory," written in the Cyrillic alphabet. The same phrase in Russian is "Pobeda Budet."
