EU condemns Russian strikes on Ukraine and violation of Polish airspace

The European Union denounced the intensified Russian missile strikes targeting Ukraine, describing the attacks as a serious escalation. In the statement, the EU also highlighted Russia's breach of Polish airspace as a concerning development that threatens the security of NATO’s eastern flank.

The EU urged all parties to respect national sovereignty and refrain from further aggression, calling for an immediate de‑escalation of hostilities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously warned that Russia was preparing a broader military operation, underscoring the heightened risk of the conflict spreading beyond Ukrainian territory.
