Keir Starmer, the UK Labour Party leader, delivered a stern rebuke following Russia’s recent incursion into Polish airspace, describing the act as “extremely reckless”. The incident, which saw Russian military aircraft cross into NATO-member Poland, has heightened tensions amid ongoing geopolitical instability in Eastern Europe. Starmer emphasized the need for a unified response from Western allies to uphold international law and preserve regional security.

Highlighting the gravity of the breach, Starmer called on the British government and its partners to:

  • Condemn any violation of NATO airspace without hesitation
  • Strengthen diplomatic efforts to prevent escalation
  • Support Poland and other frontline states with robust defense measures
