Speaking at an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council in New York (USA), Mr. Sikorski affirmed that Poland will not make any allowances in any case, whether intentional or mistaken.
The Foreign Minister continued to emphasize that countries "d better not come here to complain" if they discover military damage in the Polish airspace in particular and the entire NATO in general.
The warning was also reiterated by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference on the same day: I want to be clear. We will decide to shoot down objects flying in territory and fly over Poland without discussion. There is no place for controversy here.
Notably, the Polish Foreign Minister's speech at a meeting also attended by Russian representative Dmitry Polyansky - Deputy Ambassador of Russia to the United Nations.
Mr. Polyansky then affirmed that there was no evidence to support the Western claim and said that the European powers made baseless accusations.
The Deputy Ambassador also stressed that he would only participate in a serious discussion on European security rather than argue about whether Russia violates the territory of NATO members.
"We will not get involved in these unreasonable things," Polyansky said.
Estonia said on September 19 that three Russian MiG-31 fighters had entered the country's airspace for 12 minutes before being forced to leave.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov later said: "We did not see any objective data in Estonia's statement. Therefore, these words are just baseless, continuing to only escalate stress".
