A Russian fighter and a refueler crossed the EU’s external border Thursday night as the bloc’s leaders discussed their defense plans.
A Russian fighter jet and a refueling aircraft briefly crossed into Lithuanian airspace from the Kaliningrad region on Thursday evening, the Lithuanian Armed Forces said.
Lithuania’s President Gitanas Nausėda condemned what he described as "a cruel violation of international law and territorial sovereignty of Lithuania.”
“We have to react to this,” he wrote on X, posting from Brussels.
The intrusion came as EU leaders in Brussels were discussing ways to strengthen the bloc’s security at Thursday’s European Council. For Lithuania, which has seen a growing number of airspace violations in recent months — from fighter jets and drones to balloons — air defense remains a top priority.
Yep, there we go. This will continue to escalate. The EU needs to mobilize on a big scale, war is coming.
This is a way to get European countries to give less aid to Ukraine by making them hesitant to depart from military stuff.
There’s no way Russia can take on all of the EU or NATO when they can barely invade Ukraine.
I don’t know man, they’re up to some shit, and they have a plan.
Fuckin Cylons, man.
Frack them toasters. All of this has happened before.
