NATO Reaffirms Readiness Amid Airspace Tensions with Russia
(MENAFN) NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated on Thursday that the alliance has acted promptly and firmly in response to "Russian airspace violations," highlighting its unwavering commitment to collective defense.
Speaking in Brunssum, the Netherlands, alongside German Air Force Commander General Ingo Gerhartz, Rutte stressed that NATO’s robust presence on the ground reflects its determination to safeguard every member state.
"The men and women in Brunssum make sure that NATO's posture in this region remains strong and credible no matter the threat or provocation. NATO has responded quickly and decisively to Russia's airspace violations, and every day, our strong presence on the ground demonstrates our resolve," he affirmed.
He further noted that ongoing drills and the stationing of allied land forces along the eastern flank convey "a strong signal any adversary" that NATO is alert and ready to respond.
In recent months, multiple European nations have reported drone intrusions, occasionally near airports or military installations, including a Belgian military base.
Several European authorities have attributed these episodes to Russia, framing them as part of a hybrid warfare campaign linked to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Moscow, however, has categorically denied any role in these incidents.
