During the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, Russia has often been accused of violating the airspace of its neighbouring countries like Poland and Romania (both NATO members), when carrying out missile and drone attacks targeting the western regions of Ukraine.

NATO member Poland scrambled fighter jets after overnight Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine, Warsaw's military said on Wednesday. A spokesperson for the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces told Newsweek that "intense long-range aviation activity" from Russia had been detected early on Wednesday.
