  • Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski warned Russia at the U.N. Security Council not to complain if its missiles or aircraft are shot down after entering NATO airspace.
  • The warning followed an incident where three Russian military jets entered Estonian airspace for 12 minutes before being repelled by Italian F-35s.
  • Sikorski emphasized that Russia should not expect sympathy or recourse at the U.N. if such incidents result in their aircraft being shot down over NATO territory.
