MOSCOW, September 24. /TASS/. The EU seeks to hinder dialogue between Russia and the US, the recognition of Palestine strains ties between Israel and Europe, and Trump’s tariffs do not hamper the global economy. These stories topped Wednesday's headlines across Russia.
The European "war party" is using the incident with Russian planes over the Baltic Sea to undermine the settlement in Ukraine, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail Galuzin told Izvestia. And according to Rodion Miroshnik, the Russian Foreign Ministry’s ambassador-at-large, the incidents in Poland and the Baltic states have all the hallmarks of a provocation. Meanwhile, on September 23, NATO consultations, organized on the request of Estonia, concluded. Mark Rutte, the alliance’s secretary general, said that the bloc would resolutely respond to airspace violations. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has vowed to shoot down Russian planes if they cross the border. The Russian Embassy in Warsaw told Izvestia that Polish authorities have been engaged in the militarization of the region for a long time, and the statements of the leaders of that country are another confirmation of Warsaw's policy course toward deliberate escalation.
