At this year’s second NATO-Russia Council meeting, which kicked off in Brussels Thursday, envoys from both Russia and NATO are expected to address recent “unsafe” jet maneuvers near the Baltic Sea.
“A diplomatic source in Brussels earlier said that efforts to prevent incidents and ensure the transparency of military activity in Europe that has considerably intensified recently will top the agenda of the meeting,” according to Tass, a Russian state-owned media service.
In late June, a NATO F-16 fighter belonging to Poland attempted to intercept a Russian Su-27 carrying Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu over the Baltic Sea. While the Polish jet was eventually deterred, the incident prompted an unhappy Russian response.
