British Secretary: We and NATO will face Russian planes if necessary in the sky of Europe

Yvette Cooper, United Kingdom Foreign Secretary, spoke at the UN Security Council in New York.

She just said the United Kingdom and NATO forces would face Russian planes, if necessary, broadcast Telegrafi.

“If we have to face aircraft operating in NATO airspace without permission, we will do this”, she told the UN.

“at best, these recent acts are dangerous and reckless”, Cooper also said.

“in the worst case, they are a deliberate attempt to undermine the territorial integrity of sovereign nations and European security. They risk miscalculations, they open the door for direct armed confrontation between NATO and Russia. The UK stands in full solidarity with you at this time and always”, Cooper told the United Kingdom allies.

“President Putin, I say your reckless actions endanger a direct armed confrontation between NATO and Russia. Our alliance is protective, but do not have any illusions, we are willing to take all necessary steps to protect the sky and NATO territory. We are vigilant. We're set”, she added. /Periscope/
