NATO allies clashed with Russia at the United Nations on Monday, accusing Moscow of risking global peace by violating the alliance’s airspace in Estonia and Poland. The emergency meeting of the UN Security Council was convened in New York on the evening of Sept. 22 following a series of airspace incursions by Russian military aircraft and drones. This included the unauthorized entry of Russian fighter-bombers into Estonian airspace on Friday, as well as the earlier breach of Polish airspace by more than 20 Russian drones, prompting NATO to scramble jets to shoot some of them down. On Sept. 19, Estonia said that three Russian MiG-31 fighters had violated Estonian airspace without permission and stayed for a total of 12 minutes before being forced to withdraw. The episode was described by Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tashkna as Russia’s most “brazen” violation to date and led to Russia’s chargé d’affaires in Estonia being summoned as the incident drew global condemnation.
