NATO Ally Airspace Tested Amid New Alleged Russian Violation: ISW

Finnish officials allege that a Russian military plane briefly entered its airspace Monday morning.

The Finnish Ministry of Defense said that it has launched an investigation, alleging that a Russian military plane flew into its airspace Monday morning.The violation occurred over the Gulf of Finland as a Moscow aircraft flew into Finnish airspace for about two minutes and traveled around 1.6 miles deep, Finnish officials allege. The report marks Finland's first complaint lodged against Russia since joining NATO last spring. The two countries share an 830-mile border in Eastern Europe.

The ISW also cited its May 22 war assessment regarding the Russian Ministry of Defense's proposal to 'reassess' its maritime borders established in 1985 in the Gulf of Finland because they are 'based on outdated small-scale nautical navigation maps.' As the think tank reported, some Western officials warned that the proposal was an effort by Moscow to revise the maritime zones established in the Baltic Sea.
