The US president has promised help in case of Russian aggression, though Moscow has denied that it poses a threat to NATO members<\/strong><\/p>\n

US President Donald Trump has pledged to defend Poland and the Baltic states in case of Russian aggression, though Moscow has denied that it poses a threat to NATO members.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Trump was asked by Italy’s Ansa news agency whether he would “help defend”<\/em> Poland and the Baltic states “if Russia keeps escalating.”<\/em> Trump replied: “Yeah, I would. I would.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Trump’s remark follows unsubstantiated claims by Poland and Estonia that Russia violated their airspace earlier this month.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Estonia – a Baltic NATO member – claimed that three Russian fighter jets violated its airspace in what it called an “unprecedented brazen”<\/em> provocation<\/a>. Tallinn requested urgent consultations under NATO’s Article 4, which allows members to seek talks if they believe their security or territorial integrity is threatened.<\/p>\n

On September 9, Poland claimed that Russia sent at least 19 drones into its airspace. EU officials, including top diplomat Kaja Kallas, called the incident a “deliberate violation.”<\/em> NATO responded by sending more aircraft to patrol Polish skies.<\/p>\n

Moscow denied both accusations. Regarding Poland, Russian officials suggested that Kiev could have staged a false flag operation to drag NATO into a direct confrontation with Moscow. Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the drone claims were fabricated to demonize Russia and derail the Ukraine peace process.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, the Defense Ministry in Moscow denied the Estonian claims, saying the jets were on a routine flight from Karelia to Kaliningrad, passing over neutral Baltic Sea waters more than 3km from Estonia’s Vaindloo island “without violating Estonian airspace.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Since the Ukraine conflict escalated in 2022, Western officials have repeatedly warned that Russia could target EU states. Earlier this year, Brussels launched a frenzied militarization campaign, while NATO members agreed to raise defense spending to 5% of GDP, both citing the alleged “Russian threat.”<\/em> Poland and the Baltic states have been among the loudest voices, pointing to their proximity to Russia.<\/p>\n

Moscow has denied that it poses a threat, accusing the West of stoking Russophobia to justify military buildups and distract from internal problems. Russia has called the Baltic nations “extremely Russophobic,”<\/em> downgrading diplomatic ties with them in 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
