BUCHAREST – Russia's repeated airspace violations of countries on the eastern flank of NATO underline the urgent need to consolidate the alliance's air defenses against ​missiles and drones, the leaders of 14 allies said on Wednesday.

They also called ‌for greater ‌cooperation in building up defense industry capacity in a joint ​statement, issued after a meeting of eastern flank allies in Bucharest hosted by Romania's President Nicusor Dan and Polish President Karol Nawrocki.

"We condemn Russia's highly confrontational actions against Allies ⁠and partners, including sabotage, cyberattacks, and a wide range of hybrid attacks and destabilising activities," ⁠the leaders' joint statement said.
