NEW YORK CITY — Estonia embarked on the United Nations General Assembly’s High-Level Week by demanding an emergency meeting of the Security Council to respond to Russia’s repeated incursions into its and other Baltic states’ airspace
Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna, speaking English, told reporters that Russian airplanes “penetrating deep” inside Estonia without permission for 12 minutes last Friday was a “dangerous escalation” amid Russia’s war with Ukraine.
“It was the fourth violation of Estonian airspace by Russia this year,” he said. “We are here today because this incident concerns not only Estonia, but the entire international community. This outrageous violation of the territorial integrity of Estonia was preceded by Russian drones violating the airspace of Poland and Romania.”
