Details: According to Sybiha, Estonia's request to convene an emergency UNSC meeting for the first time in 34 years "shows the unprecedented scale of threats posed by aggressive Russia to the stability of Europe".

Quote : "Ukraine addressed the ROK’s Presidency with a request to attend the meeting and present our perspective. We support friendly Estonia in calling for a strong and united response to Russia’s continued destabilisation of international peace and security."

Background:

• The UN Security Council is set to hold an emergency meeting on 22 September due to Russia’s violation of Estonian airspace on 19 September.
• At that time, three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets entered Estonian airspace over the Gulf of Finland without permission and remained there for a total of 12 minutes. NATO reported that it had carried out an interception of the warplanes.
• Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal stated that Estonia has initiated NATO consultations under Article 4 of the Washington Treaty.
