JAKARTA - The Kremlin said talks about the shooting of a Russian military plane crash over Europe were reckless, aggressive, and marked a serious escalation of tensions near Russia's borders.

"The statement about the shooting of a Russian plane crash, at least, rash, irresponsible and of course, is dangerous," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state TV reporter Pavel Zarubin.

Bloomberg previously reported European diplomats had warned Moscow of NATO ready to respond with full force to its airspace violations, including by shooting down Russian planes.

Peskov repeated Moscow's rebuttal its warplanes entered Estonian airspace last week.

"We heard the conversation when our planes were accused of violating Estonian airspace. However, there was absolutely no evidence, let alone convincing evidence, submitted," he said.

"And, of course, with these carelessness backgrounds, such aggressive statements, these are a very significant wave of tension escalation near our borders," he continued.
