Juknevičienė vs Kyllönen- Russian drones over Europe — Deterrence or restraint?

Should the EU and NATO strengthen their air defence posture and adopt a tougher deterrence strategy? Or is there a risk that further military escalation could make Europe less secure? 

As the war in Ukraine enters its fifth summer, Europe faces a growing security dilemma. Russian drones continue to violate EU and NATO airspace, raising concerns about the continent's readiness to respond to an increasingly assertive Moscow.

Two members of the European Parliament, Rasa Juknevičienė from Lithuania of the European People's Party and Merja Kyllönen from Finland of The Left, joined The Ring to discuss how Europe should respond.
