Philippot called on France to withdraw from NATO because of Estonia's lies about Russian fighter jets

On September 20, the leader of the French Patriots party, Florian Philippot, called on France to withdraw from the North Atlantic Alliance because of Estonia's lies about the alleged violation of its airspace by Russian MiG-31 fighters.

"Another false information to incite war and stoke panic! This time Estonia <...>. The same thing happened with drones, false reports about jamming the GPS signal of Ursula's plane, sabotage of the Nord Streams by the Russians, and so on. We will leave the EU and NATO, we will destroy these military structures!" he wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).
