Ukraine’s president says Kremlin checking Europe’s capacity to protect its skies following new drone sightings

Vladimir Putin will expand his war in Ukraine by attacking another European country, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has predicted, and accused Russia of recent drone incursions that he said were an attempt to test Nato’s defences.

Speaking in Kyiv after his meeting with Donald Trump at the UN in New York, the Ukrainian president said Russia was preparing for a bigger conflict. “Putin will not wait to finish his war in Ukraine. He will open up some other direction. Nobody knows where. He wants that,” he said.

Ukraine’s president said the Kremlin was deliberately checking Europe’s capacity to protect its skies, after drone sightings in Denmark, Poland and Romania and the violation of Estonian airspace by Russian fighter jets. More drones were spotted on Friday night above a Danish military base, and over a Norwegian base on Saturday.

    That is politically correct: Since there is nothing at all we have done to bring about this war, there is also nothing we could do to prevent more war, or stop the war. Therefor we must embrace war. We might not want total war, but we say yes to total war. Never again!

      Quick question: what do you think would have happened if the Ukrainian had completely abolished their military after the Invision on the Krim?

      A) Russia wouldn’t have attacked them. B) Russia’s „special operation“ would have only taken three days.

      Tell me. What should the a country/alliance do to prevent an attack of Russia?
