Estonia released the flight path of three Russian MiG-31 jets that violated its airspace on Friday, September 20th, 2025, showing the supersonic interceptors flying parallel to the Estonian border near Vaindloo Island for 12 minutes. Italian F-35s escorted the Russian aircraft out of the airspace, according to an announcement on X by InsiderGeo. In a separate development, French President Emmanuel Macron announced on X that he spoke with the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia regarding the adoption of the New York Declaration on the two-state solution by 142 countries. Macron stated that this declaration marks a turning point for peace and security in the Middle East. He also confirmed that he and the Crown Prince will co-chair a conference in New York on Monday to further mobilize the international community. This new information follows reports from earlier on September 20th, 2025, detailing Poland scrambling fighter jets in response to a Russian aerial assault on Ukraine. Hours prior, NATO intercepted three Russian jets over Estonia's airspace. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that France, the UK, the US, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, the Czech Republic, Portugal, and Italy had pledged additional support to Poland following drone attacks. European airports, including London Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin Brandenburg, also experienced widespread flight delays and cancellations due to a cyber attack on a third-party service provider. The German military, the Bundeswehr, has reported a significant increase in interest for voluntary military service, with nearly 13,000 recruits registered as of August 2025.
