Is NATO close to war with Russia?

In the past two weeks, both Poland and Romania have reported Russian drones flying in their airspace. Importantly, NATO forces shot down Russian aircraft for the first time in the alliance's 75-year history. Both countries are neighbours of Ukraine, which continues to face Russian airstrikes and ground offensives as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues. 

But there’s a key difference between an attack on Ukraine, and an attack on Poland or Romania - and that’s NATO. On today’s podcast, we’re going to take a look at what makes Russian activity in Poland and Romania different, the idea of collective defence, and the broader implications. 

Hosts: Sam Koslowski and Emma Gillespie
