The Kremlin accused, this Monday, September 22, countries with aggravating tensions on Monday, September 22 of aggravating tensions with their “unfounded” positions that Russia violated some of its airspaces, according to Estonia, said last week that the combat planes had flown over their territory.
“We consider that these statements are empty of meaning, unfounded and registered in the continuity of a completely unbridled policy that consists of moving tensions and causing a climate of confrontation,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov, questioned about the accusations of the Balte country during his daily informative session whose AFP participated in particular.
On Friday, three Russian combat planes entered Estonia’s airspace and stayed there for 12 minutes, causing NATO protests and the European Union against a new Russian “provocation”, while Moscow denied any violation.

The representatives of the 32 NATO countries will meet on Tuesday morning in Brussels, at the request of Estonia to discuss these facts. Tensions have been higher between Moscow countries and NATO since the beginning of the Russian large -scale offensive in Ukraine in February 2022.
The UN Security Council, meanwhile, must meet on Monday “in response to the flagrant rape of Estonian airspace by Russia,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Estonia announced Friday.
