Rogozin says he arrived in Moscow on Saturday after his plane had been turned back by the Ukrainian airforce.
He claims that he made it to the Russian capital despite the fact that his plane was intercepted by Ukrainian planes and forced to head back to Chisinau.
“Ukrainian intercept planes were scrambled and our plane was constrained to make the way back,” wrote Rogozin in a message posted on Twitter.
A few minutes later, he continued with another message, “but the defense industry has its own routes. I arrived in Moscow. And junta (in Kiev) was left behind.”
