Russian Ambassador Serhiy Andreev was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland in connection with the incident over the Black Sea, when a Russian Su-35 fighter jet dangerously intercepted a plane of the Polish Border Service.
This was announced on Twitter by the representative of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Lukasz Jasina.
He reported that on May 10, the Russian ambassador to Poland, Andreev, was summoned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
During the meeting, the Russian diplomat was handed a note of protest over the incident involving a Russian fighter jet against a plane of the Polish Border Guard Service.
"We strongly condemn the provocative and aggressive behavior of the Russian side, which is a serious international incident," Yasina said.
As reported, on Friday, a Russian Su-35 aircraft dangerously intercepted an L410 TURBOLET aircraft belonging to the Polish Border Guard Service, which was performing a scheduled patrol mission under the auspices of Frontex over the Black Sea in international airspace in cooperation with Romanian services.
The incident caused a lot of turbulence on the Polish border plane. During the incident, the five-person crew of Polish border guards temporarily lost control of the plane and began to lose altitude. NATO warplanes were ready to intervene before the incident.
The representative of the Polish government, Petro Mueller, commented on the interception of the plane of the Polish border guards by a Russian fighter, saying that it was a planned provocation.
Because of the incident, Frontex patrols over the Black Sea were temporarily suspended.
