The area over which the MIGs flew is anything but neutral; it is an area they lost with the accession of Finland & Sweden to NATO. It is a vital maritime artery to reach warm waters that the Russians have lost.

"They need to understand that they cannot violate the airspace of a sovereign country, especially one that belongs to NATO. At some point, we have to put one on the ground, as the Turks did, and then it will make them think." - French ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท General Nicolas Richoux

"If don't respond, we will soon witness a new act of war. We must establish a no-fly zone along NATO's entire eastern flank, & any vector that penetrates it will be destroyed.
NATO would gain vital experience by shooting down all drones that arrive in Ukraine."

This latest Russian attack comes just after Trump's latest statement. Instead of sanctioning Russia, Trump continues his economic blackmail on Europe.

Trump warned that Putin had "really let me down", but insisted allies must stop purchasing oil from Russia.

With the United States' disengagement from Europe and Trump's alliance with Russia, Poland and the Baltic states will have to consider joint defense with Ukraine.

As a reminder, in Russia, we continue to see posters stating: 'Russia's border do not end'.

As Russia continues to escalate its provocative attacks, discussions of a no-fly zone are increasing in foreign ministries.

It is clear that a no-fly zone is becoming mandatory, not only to protect Ukraine but also to protect our own European borders.
