L ONDON -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged attendees of this week's United Nations General Assembly sessions in New York to use the meeting of world leaders to apply "strong political pressure" on Russia, as Moscow's war on its neighbor wears on.

That campaign now seems to be migrating into the skies above Europe. For decades Russia has occasionally strayed into the national airspace of NATO allies, which follows national borders and extends 12 nautical miles from a country’s shoreline.

Russia and Ukraine are accusing each other of deadly drone strikes on civilian areas as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy anticipates a busy week at the U.N.

NATO allies accused Russia at the United Nations on Monday of violating the alliance's air space in Estonia and Poland -- actions that Britain said risked triggering an armed conflict.

President Trump said he supports NATO countries shooting down Russian aircraft if they enter their airspace during an interview at the UN.

A U.N. expert reports that repression in Russia is escalating, targeting civilians, journalists, and Ukrainian prisoners of war.

Europe cannot afford to let Moldova fall to Russia, Volodymyr Zelensky warned in a speech at the United Nations on Wednesday.
