Tensions continue to rise in the skies over the Baltic . After Tuesday's incursion of a Russian drone, which was shot down by Italian fighters , two Russian military jets yesterday violated Lithuanian airspace, chased away by two Italian F-2000 Eurofighters that took off in scramble mode as part of NATO's air defense mission on the eastern flank.

At the same time , Meloni was visiting Oslo. "Putin is provoking to seek an escalation with Europe and divert attention from the field. We mustn't react but rather appoint an envoy on Ukraine to speak with one voice," the prime minister appealed.

Meanwhile, the US Congress approves the first sanctions against Russia of the Trump era . Zelensky rejoices: "They will force Putin to make peace." The Kremlin is furious.
