Increasing Tensions in Eastern Europe Due to Russian Drone Incursions

Poland has called for a NATO-backed no-fly zone over Ukraine following a series of drone incursions that have raised security concerns among member states. Recent incidents include multiple Russian drones breaching Polish and Romanian airspace, leading to defensive responses including the deployment of UK fighter jets and the invocation of NATO treaty Article 4 by Poland. Romania condemned the violations as ‘irresponsible’ while NATO is enhancing its presence along its Eastern flank with its ‘Eastern Sentry’ defense plan. The situation escalated with Poland shooting down several Russian drones, prompting discussions on military readiness and the potential for a wider conflict in Europe.
