Russian ambassador says if NATO shoots down their aircraft, it would immediately start a war

Russian Ambassador to France Alexei Meshkov warned on Thursday that if NATO shoots down its aircraft, “it would mean war,” referring to US President Donald Trump’s suggestion.

NATO aircraft violate Russian airspace, according to the ambassador

“You know, there are many NATO aircraft that violate Russian airspace … it happens quite often … [but] they are not shot down,” Meshkov told RTL Radio.

Earlier, Trump, in a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said NATO should shoot down Russian jets if they enter the skies of member countries.

He said it cannot be proved that they were involved in the drone attacks

“Firstly, we’re not playing games with anyone. Secondly, after the West has deceived us so many times, we only believe in facts,” Meshkov said, referring to accusations of suspected Russian airspace violations of Estonian, Romanian, and Polish airspace in recent days, writes Anadolu Agency.

The ambassador stressed the EU countries have provided “nothing tangible” to probe their involvement in the alleged drone violations in Europe. He said Russia’s response to the allegations was categorical: “We deny it.”

  1. When was the last time you read about a Russian report of NATO aircraft violating its’ airspace? Don’t believe anything the Russian ambassador says. Russians are the biggest liars. – even bigger than Fidesz politicians. If they continue to violate NATO airspace inevitably Russian aircraft will need to be shot down to preserve security. NATO would completely lose credibility over its’ defense if Russian aircraft could continue to violate NATO airspace at will.

  2. Russia – don’t INVADE prohibited airspace like they have DONE by their INVASION of the Ukraine.

  3. I have to say, Russian girls truly have a unique blend of elegance, charm, and sophistication. The way they carry themselves, their fashion sense, and their confident aura is really impressive. It’s fascinating to see such diversity in style and personality, and this post really captures it perfectly. Beyond just looks, what I admire the most is their poise and intelligence — it’s clear that they value self-expression and individuality. I really appreciate content like this that highlights different cultures and personalities around the world. Thanks for sharing this amazing glimpse into the beauty and charisma of Russian girls!”
