Russia threatens to shoot down NATO jets – “Return of particularly aggressive attitude’ France's defense minister Sébastien Lecornu denounced Russia's aggressive behavior towards patrol flights. To protect NATO's eastern flank, France has deployed soldiers and aircraft to Romania as part of an international coalition.
Fighter jets and special AWACS radar aircraft are used from there to scout the south of Ukraine, the Black Sea and Russian-occupied Crimea. The minister also reports about a Russian warship that was anchored in the Bay of the Seine, but “as if it wanted to come and intimidate France”
