We strongly condemn the deliberate violation of the airspace of an EU member state by Russian unmanned aerial vehicles, which occurred on September 10. This aggressive and reckless act is part of a serious escalation by Russia. It threatens the security of EU citizens, regional stability and international peace.

We continue to provide it with the support necessary to protect its eastern border. We are in constant close contact with the Polish authorities.
