"Alleged Russian violations of Estonian and German airspace after its drone incursion in Poland have put NATO on edge. In the past week, Russia has ramped up a diplomacy of intimidation in the Baltic Sea using planes, drones and words aimed at Ukraine's European allies. After threats towards Finland earlier in September, Russia violated Estonian airspace on Friday and German airspace on Sunday, days after it had flown two dozen drones into Poland."
"Ukrainian commander in chief Oleksandr Syrskii said on September 21 that his defenders had pushed Russian assault forces back from Dobropillia and Pokrovsk, two towns they have been fighting for intensively in the Donetsk region for a year. 164.5sq km [64sq miles] have been liberated, and 180.8sq km [70sq miles] cleared of enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups, Syrskii said. Control was restored over seven settlements."
Russia allegedly violated Estonian and German airspace after flying two dozen drones into Poland, escalating a diplomacy of intimidation in the Baltic Sea using planes, drones and rhetoric aimed at Ukraine's European allies. Threats towards Finland preceded those incidents. The escalation came ahead of the United Nations General Assembly and sought to isolate Europe, Australia and Japan. Intensified fighting in Ukraine produced territorial changes: Ukrainian forces pushed Russian assault units back from Dobropillia and Pokrovsk, liberated 164.5 sq km and cleared 180.8 sq km of enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups, restoring control over seven settlements. Russian forces also made gains elsewhere and infrastructure in Crimea was damaged.
