The Kremlin has taken a negative stance on remarks by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski regarding alleged violations of the country’s airspace, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in response to a related question.
"The Kremlin assesses the situation negatively. You know that we adopt a very responsible position. Our military has stated that all flights are conducted in strict compliance with international regulations and do not cross any borders. Allegations that our aircraft have allegedly violated airspace have never been substantiated by reliable data or convincing evidence," Peskov said.
He added that the Kremlin treats such statements "appropriately" when no proof is presented.
Earlier, media reported that Sikorski, speaking at a UN Security Council meeting, said that if debris from a missile or aircraft that violated Polish airspace were to fall on NATO territory, Russia should not come to the UN to "complain."[TASS]

An endless series of unfounded accusations from Western countries has led to a situation where they are no longer regarded seriously, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said, commenting on Denmark and Norway’s claims about alleged Russian drones in their airspace.
ReplyDelete"Frankly speaking, since they are coming up with baseless accusations repeatedly, we have ceased taking such claims seriously. Probably because the statements that we are hearing from them turn out to be without basis every time," he said.
"It seems to me that a country with a serious and responsible approach should not put forward unsubstantiated accusations again and again," the spokesman added.[TASS]
