Russian incursions into NATO airspace are testing the alliance's resolve
Intrusions into NATO's airspace blamed on Russia have reached an unprecedented scale, raising questions about whether the Kremlin is trying to test the alliance's willingness to respond to a direct attack or divert its attention and resources from the war in Ukraine. Russia has been encroaching on its NATO neighbors' airspace for decades. But since its 2022 invasion of Ukraine, such incursions have carried a bigger threat, none more so than when drones swarmed into Poland two weeks ago and caused NATO to scramble jets. With Moscow making slow but steady progress on the battlefield in Ukraine, its recent forays into NATO airspace also raise questions about why it would risk triggering a direct military confrontation with the alliance.

Hungary's Orban tells Trump that dropping Russian energy would bring economy 'to its knees'
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban says Hungary will keep buying fossil fuels from Russia despite demands from President Donald Trump. On Friday, Orban stated that dropping Russian energy would be a "disaster" for Hungary's economy. Hungary is one of the few European countries still purchasing Russian oil and gas after Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Trump recently urged NATO countries, including Hungary, to stop buying Russian oil, believing it could end the Russia-Ukraine war. Orban insists that geographical and infrastructural constraints make it nearly impossible for Hungary to switch to Western energy sources.
