Europe’s security crisis deepens as NATO faces fresh challenges on its eastern frontier. In Poland, drones crossing into national airspace were shot down — the first time a NATO member has directly engaged Russian targets since the war in Ukraine began. Days later, Romania reported fragments of Russian drones landing on its territory during strikes on Ukrainian ports along the Danube. Both incidents have raised urgent questions about how far NATO is prepared to go in defending its borders, and whether Russia is deliberately probing the alliance’s defences.
In Brussels, NATO leaders pledged to reinforce their eastern flank, stressing that violations of allied territory cannot be tolerated. The alliance’s Secretary General, alongside top commander General Alexus Grynkewich, addressed the growing concerns in a high-profile briefing.
Meanwhile, Russia and Belarus are pressing ahead with their Zapad-2025 exercises, involving tens of thousands of troops on training grounds close to NATO members Poland, Lithuania, and Latvia. Moscow insists the drills are routine, but their timing has unsettled European capitals.
Join us as we break down the significance of these developments — and what they mean for the future of NATO and Europe’s security.
