Overview
- At the Warsaw Security Forum and Weimar Triangle meetings today, Germany’s Johann Wadephul confers with Polish and French counterparts, with Ukraine joining later, to align deterrence and support for Kyiv.
- Germany has deployed additional Eurofighters for air policing over Poland and is pushing forward the Lithuanian brigade, including opening a new logistics hub in Rukla.
- Denmark has barred civilian drone flights through Friday around EU gatherings in Copenhagen, and Norway diverted flights and briefly closed airports after fresh drone sightings.
- Wadephul calls the violations deliberate hybrid attacks and urges a measured response through NATO procedures, echoing Defense Minister Boris Pistorius’s caution against rash escalatory moves.
- Rhetoric has hardened as President Donald Trump endorsed shooting down intruding Russian aircraft, Bloomberg reported European diplomats privately warned Moscow of possible shoot‑downs, and Sergey Lavrov accused NATO and the EU of declaring war.
