Russia Warns of War After Airspace Violations, NATO Response Would Trigger Conflict
In a recent radio interview, Russia’s ambassador to France, Alexei Meshkov, stated that downing any Russian aircraft would be considered an act of war, regardless of airspace violations. This statement follows growing accusations from European nations regarding breaches of their airspace by Russian planes and drones. Meshkov also claimed that Russia does not shoot down aircraft that infringe on its airspace and asserted that the West has not provided evidence of the alleged violations, even though such incidents have occurred. These comments come amidst a backdrop of heightened tensions, with examples of similar acts happening in the past.
