Following a massive Russian aerial assault on Ukraine, including strikes near the Polish border, Polish and allied aircraft were scrambled. Russia launched hundreds of drones and missiles, resulting in eight deaths and over 32 injuries in Ukraine. This follows a previous incident where Russian jets violated Estonian airspace, prompting a response from NATO allies. The attacks come amidst a stalled peace process, with Ukraine seeking long-term security guarantees.
