European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has harshly criticized Russia's aggressive actions, following a Danish military helicopter incident and the downing of a drone over Lithuania, UATV English reports. She emphasized that these incidents are part of a broader pattern of Russian aggression against Europe, testing our readiness and resolve.
Von der Leyen stated that Europe has witnessed Russia's reckless and dangerous behavior, and she assured that Russia will see the EU's resolve is only growing stronger. The EU, in collaboration with NATO, is enhancing collective deterrence and defense, while intensifying pressure on Russia. On September 15, a NATO air policing aircraft shot down a drone near the Lithuanian village of Pratkūnai, in the Kaišiadorys district.
This happened after a Russian frigate fired signal flares towards a Danish Air Force helicopter on September 14, in international waters of the Baltic Sea.
