【Russian Ambassador to France: If NATO shoots down Russian aircraft, it will be considered as war】According to TASS, on September 25, Russian Ambassador to France Alexei Meshkov told RTL Radio that if NATO shoots down a Russian aircraft, claiming that it has violated the airspace of a NATO member state, it would mean the outbreak of a war between Russia and NATO.
"A large number of aircraft have accidentally or intentionally violated our airspace, but none have been shot down," the ambassador added.
Meshkov also said that Europe has provided no "substantial evidence" linking Russia to the drone incidents in Europe. "First of all, we do not play games with anyone; secondly, after being deceived by the West multiple times, we only believe in facts," Meshkov said.
On September 23, during the United Nations General Assembly, US President Trump met Ukrainian President Zelenskyy and gave a positive answer to the question of whether NATO countries should shoot down Russian aircraft when they violate their airspace. When asked about whether the US is ready to assist NATO allies, Trump said it "depends on the specific circumstances."
Previously, Dmitry Peskov, the spokesperson for the Russian President, said that claims about Russian military aircraft entering other countries' airspace without confirmation are "unsubstantiated." The Kremlin also reminded people to pay attention to the statement from the Russian Defense Ministry: "Our military aircraft comply with all flight regulations and rules and are executed in the strictest manner."
