Frankfurt (Germany), Sept. 10 (LaPresse) – "This morning, Poland informed NATO Allies of the violation of its airspace by armed Russian drones. Russia endangered human lives in a NATO and EU member state." This was stated by German Chancellor Friedrich Merz regarding Russian drones in Polish airspace, as reported by government spokesperson Stefan Kornelius. "This reckless action is part of a long series of provocations in the Baltic Sea region and on NATO's eastern flank. The German government strongly condemns this aggressive Russian action," Merz said. According to the Chancellor, "It is positive that Poland, together with its NATO Allies, was able to recognize and eliminate this threat in a timely manner." "At Poland's request, the NATO Council discussed Russian actions today under Article 4 of the NATO Treaty," Merz added, emphasizing that the Alliance "is and remains ready to defend itself."
