By increasing invasions in the European airspace, the Vladimir Putin mainly seeks to distract EU’s attention from Ukraine And leaves her helpless, Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal estimated at the French Bureau.
“Vladimir Putin wants to talk about us, not Ukraine, not to help Ukraine, not to repel Russia in Ukraine. So this is quite clear, “he explained in an interview with the French Agency from Copenhagen, on the eve of the Summit of the Heads of State and Government of the European Union.
Russia increased its invasions in the EU airspace in September, initially in Poland with about twenty unmanned aircraft, then in Romania, before a flight for 12 minutes of three Russian fighter aircraft in Estonian airspace on September 19th.
To this has been added to several Danish airports and military bases by mysterious unmanned aircraft in recent days.
For Michal, behind this series of incidents, Russia is mainly acting with a single motivation: to force Europe to redefine and move away from Ukraine, whose main military and financial supporter has become after Donald Trump’s return to White House.
Moscow makes the following bet: “Everyone should focus more on their own problems, internal issues, their own borders and more. And not to think about Ukraine and Russia, “he explained.
EU leaders meet in Copenhagen tomorrow, Wednesday, to discuss ways to strengthen their defense and support for Ukraine.
