On Saturday, the European Commission gave its support to Finland's demand that Russia must immediately stop violating Finnish airspace. Last week it was revealed that Russian jets flying over the Gulf of Finland had strayed into Finnish airspace 20 times in the past year. Finland sent a diplomatic note over the repeated encroachments to Russia about four weeks ago. There has been no responseThe violations of Finnish airspace have taken place along the south coast of Finland between Porvoo and Hanko. The aircraft in question were identified as Russian Air Force Tu-134 transport jets and Antonov battle command planes similar to the US AWACS radar planes. The planes were flying a route between St. Petersburg at the eastern end of the Gulf of Finland and the Russian Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad, when they deviated from the international air corridor over the Gulf of Finland. The government is not calling the incursions a deliberate provocation. However, it has urged Russia to provide an explanation of what happened.
