Reference News Network, September 22 - According to the German news television channel website on September 21, US President Trump promised during a press conference that if Russia further "escalates the situation," he would provide assistance to the Baltic states and Poland. When asked whether he would support these countries in self-defense, Trump said, "Yes, I will."

The report states that NATO allies are about to hold a meeting to discuss the incident reported by Estonia of Russian aircraft "entering its airspace." A NATO spokesperson said that the discussion would be based on Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty. Russia denied the act of violating airspace.

Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty states that when any contracting party considers itself threatened by an external force, all contracting parties should consult together. Estonia has made a request based on this provision.

In addition, Poland reported on the evening of the 19th that two Russian fighter jets flew low over a drilling platform in the Baltic Sea belonging to Poland, entering the platform's safety zone, but did not cross the national border. (Translated by Zhong Sirui)
