"Our assessment of the incidents on Wednesday is ongoing and whether or not Russia's actions were deliberate, Russia violated NATO airspace,"
"Whether intentional or not, it is dangerous and unacceptable,"
"Poland and citizens from across the Alliance should be assured by our rapid response earlier this week and our significant announcement here today,"
"The UK is fully committed to playing our part in NATO's Eastern Sentry following the reckless and dangerous airspace violations by Russia,"
NATO launched Operation Eastern Sentry to protect its eastern flank after Russian drones entered Polish airspace. The alliance assessed the Wednesday incidents and concluded that Russia violated NATO airspace, calling the incursions dangerous and unacceptable. The Polish incursion was described as the most significant violation, with similar incidents reported in Estonia, Romania, Latvia, and Lithuania. Eastern Sentry will integrate air and ground bases and involve allies including Denmark, France, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The operation aims to flexibly strengthen defenses across the eastern flank from Finland and the Baltic states to Romania and Bulgaria. NATO did not specify additional troop numbers.
