Hnatov condemned Russia's recent air provocations in the airspace of Poland and the Scandinavian countries, as well as the intrusion of two Russian aircraft into Lithuania's airspace. He noted that such actions by the aggressor state demonstrate the confidence of its leader, Vladimir Putin, in his impunity and represent an attempt to extend the war to NATO's eastern flank.
