Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof warned Russia over further incursions into NATO airspace, as the allies struggle to coordinate a response to Moscow’s escalating violations.

Schoof, speaking in an interview with Bloomberg TV Thursday, affirmed the possibility that North Atlantic Treaty Organization members may shoot down a Russian plane in the future over such acts.
