NATO allies are struggling to coordinate a response to Russian airspace violations, with partners in the defense alliance openly contradicting each other.
On Tuesday evening, Germany warned against the risks of shooting down Russian aircraft, while US President Donald Trump almost simultaneously showed he’s open to a more aggressive stance, backed by Poland and Baltic states. On Monday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk threatened to shoot down aerial threats and stated there is “no room for discussion” about the policy.
The back and forth reveals worrying divisions within the alliance as Vladimir Putin tests its resolve. A series of incidents in which Russian aircraft have crossed into the airspace of NATO allies has sparked concern along its eastern flank and beyond.
