The UN Security Council will meet Monday at Estonia’s request to discuss Friday’s violation of the Baltic country’s airspace by Russian fighter jets.
It’s the first time in 34 years of UN membership that Tallinn has requested an emergency meeting, Estonia’s foreign ministry said. It termed Russia’s actions “part of broader Russian campaign to test the resolve of Europe and NATO.”
