The UK and USA position to the UN Security Council
Speaking to the Council, the British Foreign Minister, Yvette Cooper, warned that, if necessary, London is ready to “face” aircraft that enters the air space born without permission, underlining the risk of an armed clash if Moscow should continue with such conduct.
“President Putin I say that his irresponsible actions risk bringing a reinforced clash between NATO and Russia – the words of Cooper -. Our alliance is of defense, but it is not illusions – he continued always referring to the Russian president – We are ready to undertake all the necessary steps to defend the skies and the territories of NATO. We are vigilant. We will do it. “
