The Kremlin stated that suggestions to shoot down Russian military planes over Europe are reckless and have heightened tensions at Russia’s border.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov described these statements as irresponsible and dangerous. European diplomats had warned that NATO might fully respond to airspace violations by shooting down Russian aircraft.

Peskov denied claims that Russian planes had violated Estonian airspace, asserting no convincing evidence was provided for such accusations.

He emphasized that these aggressive statements contribute to escalating tensions.
