Ruttes after violations fear: We Must Safeguard Our Heaven

“We must keep our sky safe”, Rutte said, speaking alongside European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, prior to a meeting with EU commissioners.

“We have seen over the past few weeks what has happened to the drones in Poland, MiG-31 [warplanes] in Estonia, but also what is now happening in Denmark”, Rutte said.

In early September, three Russian fighter planes entered Estonia's airspace after a large number of Russian drones penetrated Polish airspace. Repeated images of fears in Denmark triggered major obstacles to Danish air traffic.

In Denmark, we are still assessing what is behind this, but when it comes to Poland and Estonia, it is clear that it is the Russians. However, we are still assessing whether it is intentional or not. But even if it is not deliberate, it is carefree and unacceptable”, Rutte stressed.

Rutte backed the idea of building the so-called <x0mur of fears” to better protect European airspace, naming it the necessary and necessary “thing.

“We cannot spend millions of euros or dollars on rockets to drop fears that cost only a few thousand dollars”, Rutte said.

The initiative, promoted by von der Leyen, is expected to be discussed by European Union leaders in Copenhagen on Wednesday.

Von der Leyen promised the immediate <x0 actions to create the drop wall”.

“Europe must give a strong and united response to the dangers of Russian fears at our borders”, she said. / REL/
