Brussels -- NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has expressed concern over increased Russian aircraft activity over Europe.
“In fact, Russian air activity has increased all over Europe. As a result, NATO jets have been scrambled over 400 times close to NATO airspace – 50 percent more than last year,” Stoltenberg said at a meeting with Estonian Prime Minister Taavi Roivas in Tallinn on Thursday.
“This pattern is risky and unjustified. So NATO remains vigilant,” he was quoted as saying by NATO’s press service.
“We are here. And we are ready to defend all Allies against any threat,” he said.
