In Europe, Russian military aggression proves immune to the pandemic | The Daily Signal

While most countries in Europe spent the last few months focusing on the coronavirus, Russia kept up their foreign policy. On April 28^th and 29^th NATO forces intercepted Russian aircrafts attempting to enter allied airspace three different times. Russian mercenaries and contractors have also continued to bomb Ukrainian troops and villages in the Donbas region.

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe has reported several thousand cease-fire violations by Russia in Ukraine this past week.
