US urges to defend 'every inch of NATO territory'
Sep 14, 2025
New York [US], September 14: Washington's ambassador to the United Nations has underscored that the United States stands firmly alongside its NATO allies following the violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones.
The US is consulting with Poland and other NATO allies, "and rest assured, we will defend every inch of NATO territory," acting ambassador Dorothy Shea said on Friday evening in New York at a special meeting of the UN Security Council on the situation.
"This incident does not help the extraordinary efforts that the United States has undertaken in recent weeks to broker an end to the war [in Ukraine]," She said.
Her comments were clearer than those of US President Donald Trump, who, unlike most NATO country leaders, had been rather evasive in his stance on the Russian drone flights. (DPA)
