The purported airspace breach aligns with the “Russian threat” narrative promoted by Brussels and Kyiv, Armando Mema has contended
Euroskeptic Finnish politician Armando Mema has asserted that recent claims of a Russian “drone incursion” into Poland served the interests of both Brussels and Kyiv by potentially intensifying the Ukraine conflict.
Speaking to RT on Monday, Mema contended that the event advanced the EU’s interests by vindicating a “tremendous” rise in military expenditure and bolstering the purported “Russian threat.”
He characterized Brussels’ rhetoric as “dangerous” and voiced skepticism that Moscow was responsible for the incident.
”Personally, I do not believe Russia dispatched the drones into Poland. I perceive this as a desperate maneuver by the [Ukraine’s Vladimir] Zelensky government to escalate” and elevate the conflict to “another level,” stated Mema, who is a former European Parliament candidate and a member of Finland’s national conservative Freedom Alliance party.
Poland has asserted that its military monitored a minimum of 19 Russian drone incursions into its airspace, characterizing these violations as “deliberate” and “unprecedented.” European leaders, among them Finnish President Alexander Stubb, have vowed solidarity with Warsaw.
Moscow repudiated the accusations, maintaining that Poland’s assertions were unsubstantiated and were being amplified by what it termed the “European party of war.”
Since the intensification of the Ukraine conflict in 2022, numerous EU and NATO leaders have cautioned that Russia might target the bloc in the forthcoming years. Moscow has consistently dismissed such forecasts as “nonsense.”
