Polish Deputy Prime Minister Radosław Sikorski expresses hope that President Andrzej Nawrocki will persuade US President Trump of the urgency of addressing Russian provocations during his visit to the UN Security Council.
Context of the UN Security Council Meeting
The meeting was convened in response to Russia’s violation of Estonia’s airspace with three MIG-31 fighter jets on September 19.
Sikorski emphasized that the session will address the breach of international law and territorial integrity.
Details of the Russian Provocation
The Russian jets entered Estonian airspace without permission, flight plans, or communication with air traffic control, prompting a response from Finnish and Italian F-35 fighters.
Estonia’s Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian chargé d’affaires and delivered a diplomatic note, while several countries condemned the violation.
Sikorski’s Remarks and Poland’s Stance
Sikorski stated that he will express solidarity with countries affected by Russia’s hybrid war during his address to the UN Security Council.
He highlighted that Russia’s actions in Ukraine and its violations of international borders by air and sea are a broader threat to regional and global security.
