China on Monday called for calm and restraint over an airspace dispute between Russia and Estonia. Estonia, other European countries that participated in Monday's meeting, and the United States accused Russia of violating Estonia's airspace and of escalating tensions. Meanwhile, Russia's first deputy permanent representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyanskiy denied the accusation, saying that Russian jets did not violate Estonian airspace, and accusing European states of Russophobia. Addressing the meeting, Geng said that the Estonia airspace incident and the drone incident in Poland discussed a few days earlier are both spillover effects of the Ukraine crisis. "In regard to the airspace incident, China urges the parties concerned to remain calm and exercise restraint, clarify facts and dispel doubts through dialogue and communication, avoid misunderstanding and misjudgment, and prevent the situation from expanding or escalating.
