Overview

• At the UN, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Russia has no intention of attacking NATO but vowed a decisive response to any aggression, framing recent alarms as misread or misattributed.
• Estonia reported three Russian MiG-31s entered its airspace over the Gulf of Finland for 12 minutes and were intercepted by NATO jets, a charge Moscow denies.
• Denmark investigated drone sightings over Karup air base after brief airport shutdowns nationwide, with security services warning of a high sabotage risk and declining to publicly attribute responsibility.
• After President Donald Trump endorsed shooting down intruding Russian aircraft, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitri Peskov called the idea irresponsible and dangerous, while NATO reiterated it would defend allied territory.
• EU members advanced plans for an anti-drone wall and NATO commanders met in Riga following recent Article 4 consultations to strengthen air and counter-drone defenses, as an OSCE-commissioned probe detailed systematic abuse of Ukrainian POWs.
