Estonia called for urgent talks with its NATO allies after Russian jets crossed into its airspace on Friday.
The Russian aircraft ignored signals from NATO pilots during the 12-minute incursion, Estonian officials said, marking the latest test of the alliance’s response to Moscow’s threats, more than a week after Russian drones crossed into Poland.
US President Donald Trump vowed on Sunday to defend Europe if Moscow escalates, but he has largely taken a backseat on diplomacy involving the Kremlin in recent weeks, analysts said. Europe wants action, but Trump has struck a more muted tone and held off on his threat to impose more sanctions on Russia.
