NATO Pledges ‘Robust’ Response to Russian Airspace Breaches

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization promised a “robust” response to Russian incursions into its airspace and said it would use all options, including military, to defend itself.

“Allies will employ, in accordance with international law, all necessary military and non-military tools to defend ourselves and deter all threats from all directions,” NATO said in an emailed statement Tuesday. “Allies will not be deterred by these and other irresponsible acts by Russia.”
