Belgium summoned Russia’s ambassador on 11 September 2025 following incursions by Russian drones into Polish airspace, a grave breach condemned as a deliberate violation of EU and NATO security. Belgium’s Foreign Ministry described Russia’s actions as aggressive and reckless, threatening regional stability and international peace. Solidarity with Poland was reaffirmed, with Belgian military personnel assisting Poland in countering these incursions. Sweden joined in summoning the Russian ambassador, emphasizing the threat these violations pose to European security. The UN Security Council, prompted by Poland, scheduled an emergency meeting supported by France and the UK to address this unprecedented aggression. Germany announced plans to boost protections along NATO’s eastern flank by extending air surveillance and deploying German fighter jets. Poland described the incursion as deliberate, while Moscow denied the claims. Warsaw is pushing to enhance the EU and NATO military presence on its territory to strengthen defense capabilities.
