Escalation in the Baltic: Russia sent Su-35 to protect its 'shadow fleet'.


EU's response to the incident in the Baltic Sea
According to a report presented by Estonia, Russia sent a fighter jet into NATO airspace to escort a Russian oil tanker that is part of the 'shadow fleet'. The fighter jet violated NATO airspace but faced only a brief confrontation.
The Russian Federation is ready to defend the 'shadow fleet'... The situation is indeed serious.
The Estonian Navy reported that the vessel 'Jaguar', which is on the UK sanctions list, refused to cooperate with the Estonian military and was escorted to Russian waters. Western countries confirm that Russia is using the 'shadow fleet' to circumvent sanctions and strengthen its influence in the world.
Concerns of Lithuania and NATO's response
The Prime Minister of Lithuania expressed optimism about the situation's development and claims that military conflict should be avoided. The NATO Secretary General reaffirmed close contact with Estonia and the Alliance's readiness to intervene.
It should be noted that this is already the second incident in recent weeks involving Russian vessels in the Baltic Sea. The European Union and NATO condemned Russia's actions and are actively responding to this situation.
