Latvia and Finland welcome NATO's airspace mission
Sep 17, 2025
Riga [Latvia], September 17: The presidents of Latvia and Finland have welcomed NATO's new mission to secure airspace on its eastern flank, launched in response to Russia's violations of Polish airspace last week.
The military operation, known as Eastern Sentry, is an "appropriate and right response" to the alleged deliberate violations of Polish airspace, said Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics in Riga on Tuesday, after a meeting with his Finnish counterpart Alexander Stubb.
"We're very happy that the Eastern Sentry now begins in Polish airspace. We take lessons learned from there and then expand it all the way up to the high North," said Stubb. (DPA)
