Vladimir Putin is “completely reckless” and needs to be shown that incursions into Nato territory will be met with a firm response, Lithuania’s former prime minister, Ingrida Šimonytė, told The i Paper.
Over the past few weeks, Russian drones and fighter jets have violated the airspace of three Nato members: Poland, Romania and Estonia, causing Nato aircraft to be scrambled in response.
In the Baltics, the mood is tense and attitudes are hardening further, with leading figures saying that countries must react.
An Estonian foreign affairs official told The i Paper that “If we fail to defend the most basic principles of international law in our backyard, then not only will our credibility globally be damaged, our ability to defend those principles further in Europe will be diminished.”
