Russia has not commented. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">On Saturday, Ukraine&#8217;s President Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia would not stop with his country &#8211; which is why it was testing European air defences with the recent incursions in several countries belonging to the Nato military alliance.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-component=\"text-block\">\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 and has been rebuffing international efforts &#8211; led by his US counterpart Donald Trump &#8211; to end the war. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">&#8220;Putin will not wait to finish his war in Ukraine. He will open up some other direction. Nobody knows where. He wants that,&#8221; Zelensky said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">He was speaking hours before the latest Russian barrage began hitting Ukrainian cities. Details are still emerging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">In neighbouring Poland, jets were scrambled early on Sunday as Russia hit western Ukraine, the Polish armed forces said. <\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">The Polish military further described the actions &#8211; which have become routine since  Polish and Nato aircraft <a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c147065pzdzo\" class=\"sc-f9178328-0 jZoZnB\">shot down three Russian drones<\/a> in Poland&#8217;s airspace on 10 September &#8211; as preventative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Moscow denied responsibility after Denmark said drones were flown over its airports. Denmark itself has said the incidents appeared to be the work of a &#8220;professional actor&#8221;, without specifying who this may be.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Estonia has accused Russia of violating its airspace with warplanes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">After the incursions, Nato launched a mission to bolster its eastern flank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Trump has gone as far as to say that Nato nations should shoot down Russian planes in their airspace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">He also shifted his position on the Russia-Ukraine war, saying for the first time last week that Ukraine could win all of its land back from Moscow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">In a <a target=\"_self\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c5ygjv0r2myo\" class=\"sc-f9178328-0 jZoZnB\">speech delivered at the UN General Assembly<\/a> on Saturday, Russia&#8217;s Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said his country had no intention of attacking EU or Nato member states but warned of a &#8220;decisive response&#8221; to any &#8220;aggression&#8221; directed towards Moscow.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/c75qeqr5905o?at_medium=RSS&#038;at_campaign=rss\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A &#8220;massive attack&#8221; by Russia against Ukraine&#8217;s capital has killed four people and injured at least eight others, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko has said.
