Hussar said that the violation of Estonia’s airspace had been a deliberate provocation by Russia, which took place after the attacks against our NATO and European Union allies Poland and Romania. Following the airspace violation, Estonia initiated NATO Article 4 consultations and, for the first time in its 34 years of membership, requested an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council.
According to Hussar, Russia’s actions blatantly violate international law and clearly demonstrate that it is not interested in achieving peace. “At today’s meeting of Speakers, I would like to thank my colleagues from the Nordic Countries, the Baltic States and Poland for their support, and discuss further cooperation to increase political and economic pressure and raise the cost to Russia of its war of aggression against Ukraine and its increasingly frequent provocations,” he said.
