""Russia has brought war back to Europe, and we must be prepared for the scale of war our grandparents or great-grandparents endured." Threat level: Rutte said NATO has increased vigilance and strengthened deference along its eastern flank border with Russia. In less than a week this year, Russia launched drone incursions on both Polish and Romanian airspace. Russian fighter jets entered and stayed in Estonian airspace as well."
"Zoom in: Rutte said that President Trump is the "the only one" who can get Putin to the negotiating table. "So, let's put Putin to the test, let's see if he really wants peace, or if he prefers the slaughter to continue," Rutte said. Context: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday that the Trump administration hopes to reach a "full understanding" over its peace plan by Christmas."
Conflict has returned to Europe as Russia's actions have prompted warnings about a scale of war comparable to past generations. NATO has increased vigilance and strengthened defenses along its eastern flank bordering Russia. Recent incidents include drone incursions into Polish and Romanian airspace and Russian fighter jets entering Estonian airspace. Attacks have targeted commercial warehouses and shopping centers as well as critical infrastructure, endangering lives and raising escalation risks. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte called on President Trump as the only leader who can pressure Putin to negotiate. Ukraine faces pressure over a 20-point peace plan that would require territorial concessions and rapid elections.
