Russia's latest incursions serve as backdrop for Trump's UN address

() Russia’s violations in Estonia and Poland’s airspaces are among the global crises setting the stage for President Donald Trump’s address to the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday.

Moscow’s pilots ignored signals from NATO officials last week when they spent 12 minutes in Estonia’s airspace, days after Russian drones entered Polish territory and were shot down.

“Several other Allies including Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, and Romania have also recently experienced airspace violations by Russia. We express our full solidarity with all Allies whose airspace has been breached,” NATO said Tuesday.

On Monday, a Russian delegate at the U.N.’s Security Council meeting dismissed accusations over growing Russian hostility: “If you want to get hysterical and to continue to levy baseless accusations, go right ahead. But do that without our participation.”

Trump’s Tuesday address is expected to center on a message of world peace and the end of global conflicts, including Russia’s war in Ukraine and Israel’s war in Gaza.

His comments follow Russia launching more than 100 drones at Ukraine, killing multiple people overnight Monday, according to local media. Russia said it shot down three dozen Ukrainian drones.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to meet with world leaders, including Trump, in New York Tuesday at the U.N. General Assembly.

Zelenskyy on Tuesday shared a video of a meeting with special envoy Keith Kellogg, in which they discussed “mutually beneficial agreements on drones and on the procurement of American weapons that Ukraine has proposed to the United States.”

While Trump has repeatedly said he believes diplomacy can prevail in the Middle East’s conflicts, the White House has voiced its disagreement with moves made by key allies such as the United Kingdom, France and Australia to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state.

“As for all of these Western nations that are recognizing a Palestinian state, the president has been very clear. He disagrees with this decision,” said press secretary Karoline Leavitt.

“He feels this does not do anything to release the hostages, which is the primary goal right now in Gaza,” she continued. “It does nothing to end this conflict and bring this war to a close, and frankly, he believes it’s a reward to Hamas.”
