NATO faces internal cracks as leaders clash over defense spending amid fresh Russian threats. Polish PM Donald Tusk revealed his forces intercepted a Russian “shadow fleet” near undersea cables in the Baltic Sea—seen as hybrid warfare. Lithuania’s defense minister Dovile Shakalene criticized NATO’s dysfunction, backing Donald Trump’s call for 5% defense spending. She slammed Western European nations for ignoring Eastern security concerns. As Russia’s activity intensifies, NATO unity is under stress, raising fears of permanent confrontation in the Baltic region.

Tensions flared over the Baltic Sea as two Swedish fighter jets under NATO command intercepted and escorted a Russian IL-20 “Coot” reconnaissance aircraft flying dangerously close to Polish airspace. The dramatic aerial standoff, confirmed by Sweden’s armed forces, comes just days after British RAF jets similarly intercepted Russian planes. With NATO forces on high alert and repeated Russian incursions near member states, the alliance warns it is fully prepared to retaliate if provoked further.

NATO is stepping up its military backing of Ukraine as the Netherlands ships out its final batch of F-16 fighter jets — but the skies aren't safe. Ukraine has already confirmed the loss of three U.S.-made F-16s in combat. Despite mounting risks, Western nations continue their push to modernize Ukraine’s air force as part of the international fighter jet coalition. Denmark, Belgium, Norway, and the Netherlands are now actively arming Kyiv while transitioning to the F-35s themselves. Is NATO’s bet on air superiority paying off — or are these jets flying straight into danger?

A drone dropped a paint-filled glass vessel near the main entrance of the Russian Embassy in Stockholm, Sweden, sparking a diplomatic firestorm. Moscow condemned the act and accused Sweden of failing to protect its diplomatic mission, citing violations of the 1961 Vienna Convention. Russia announced it would file a formal protest note. This marks the latest in a series of incidents targeting Russian diplomatic premises since the Ukraine conflict escalated. Previous acts of vandalism have included car rammings, graffiti, and repeated drone-based provocations, all of which remain unsolved by Swedish authorities.
