Overview

  • Estonia reports three Russian fighter jets violated its airspace for 12 minutes on Friday, drawing NATO and EU protests.
  • Italian F‑35s on Baltic air policing, joined by Swedish and Finnish aircraft, scrambled to intercept the formation.
  • The Kremlin denied any breach, with Dmitri Peskov calling NATO’s claims baseless and escalatory.
  • NATO envoys meet Tuesday in Brussels under Article 4 at Estonia’s request for consultations on the incident.
  • President Donald Trump said the United States would help defend Poland and the Baltic states if Russia escalates; a Russian Il‑20 was intercepted over the Baltic on Sunday by German and Swedish jets.
