Anand says Canada summoned Russian ambassador over drone incursion into Poland
Canada summoned Russia's ambassador after multiple drones entered Polish airspace, with Moscow denying responsibility amid NATO and EU diplomatic protests and increased military measures.
- Canada summoned Russia's ambassador Oleg Stepanov on Wednesday, and Global Affairs Canada reprimanded him over the Polish drone incursion, Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said.
- Following the incursions, NATO allies shot down some devices overnight Tuesday to Wednesday, and the EU official said Poland branded the episode an 'unprecedented' attack.
- The European Union summoned the envoys of Russia and Belarus in Brussels to protest the `intentional and dangerous` drone intrusion, while President Emmanuel Macron said France would deploy three fighter jets to protect Polish airspace.
- Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand said Canada is willing to help with a new operation to shore up defences along NATO's eastern flank, with Ottawa already beefing up its contribution, experts say.
- Amid denials, Moscow said it had not targeted Poland and cited lack of evidence that the drones were Russian, while Russia and Belarus suggested network jamming caused the incursions, a claim NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte labelled reckless.
