Nato strengthens defences after Russian drones shot down over Poland
Nato members are sending troops, artillery, and air defence systems to secure its eastern flank after what Poland called an unprecedented Russian drone incursion into its airspace. In the early hours of Wednesday, three Russian drones were shot down after crossing into Polish airspace. Other drones crashed to the ground and were later found across eastern Poland. Poland has requested a UN Security Council session about the incident, which will take place on Friday at 19:00 GMT. In response to the drone incursion, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic said they would send defences to Poland, while Lithuania would receive a German brigade and greater warning of Russian attacks on Ukraine that could cross over.

New Romanian law may have averted NATO clash with Russia after border strikes
Russia hit pipelines in Ukraine, sparking bright flames and plumes of smoke seen from Romania. Russia narrowly avoided an armed skirmish with Romania, a member of the NATO alliance, after striking just a half mile from its border. Romanian defense officials believe the new law passed by parliament explicitly allowing its armed forces to shoot down Russian drones that fly over its territory prevented the Kremlin from incurring on its territory. Russia struck a gas distribution center in the Ismail Area of Ukraine with Shahed kamikaze drones on Tuesday and Wednesday, so close to Romania's border that Bucharest deployed F-16 aircraft to monitor. No unauthorized intrusions were reported.

Ukraine decries 'symbolic blow' as Russia assumes UN presidency
Ukraine has branded Russia's presidency of the UN Security Council for the month of April "a symbolic blow," joining a chorus of outrage from Western countries. Moscow assumes the presidency as part of its monthly rotation between the Security Council's 15 member states, with ties with the West at their lowest point since the Cold War over Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Andriy Yermak, the Ukrainian president's chief of staff, said Russia's tenure was a "symbolic blow." It is another symbolic blow to the rules-based system of international relations," he wrote on Twitter. Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Russia assuming the presidency was "a slap in the face to the international community". "I urge the current UNSC members to thwart any Russian attempts to abuse its presidency," he wrote on Twitter on Saturday, calling Russia "an outlaw on the UNSC". Moscow last chaired the council in February 2022, the same month it invaded Ukraine – prompting Kyiv to call for Russia's removal from the council. Russia will hold little influence on decisions but will be in charge of the agenda. Moscow has said Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is planning to chair a UN Security Council meeting this month on "effective multilateralism". Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova also said that Lavrov would lead a debate on the Middle East on April 25. The Kremlin said on Friday it planned to "exercise all its rights" in the role. The White House urged Russia to "conduct itself professionally" when it assumes the role, saying there was no means to block Moscow from the post. "A country that flagrantly violates the UN Charter and invades its neighbour has no place on the UN Security Council," White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre said on Friday. "Unfortunately, Russia is a permanent member of the Security Council and no feasible international legal pathway exists to change that reality," she added, calling the presidency "a largely ceremonial position". The Baltic states also expressed their concern. Estonia's UN envoy Rein Tammsaar, speaking also on behalf of Latvia and Lithuania, warned the Security Council Friday as it met to discuss Russia's plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in neighbouring Belarus. "Isn't it telling that tomorrow, on the anniversary of the Bucha killings, Russia will assume the Presidency of the UN Security Council?

Lithuanian Foreign Minister: 'No greater threat' than Russia, seeks to preserve 'global rules-based order'
Lithuania's Foreign Minister, Gabrielius Landsbergis, talked with Fox News Digital about Russia, China and the'global rules-based order' on the 20th anniversary of his country joining NATO. Lithuania commemorated its entry into NATO this last week and its long-standing partnership with the U.S. as leaders look ahead to the increasingly complex security landscape developing around the world. President George W. Bush visited the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius 20 years ago to welcome the country into the still-growing NATO alliance, applauding the character of member states to "stand in the face of evil, to have the courage to always face danger." "President [George W.] Bush made the most famous speech any American has ever made in Lithuania exactly 20 years ago," Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis told Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview. "That was even before we were a member of NATO, and it was probably the most important security guarantee that we got before Article Five started covering us with its umbrella."
