Russia issued a warning to NATO powers that are considering firmer responses to alleged Russian incursions, as Ukraine said it for the first time received a US-made Patriot system from Israel to ramp up defenses.

Several European countries say Russian fighter jets and drones have violated their airspace over recent weeks, in what NATO has seen as a test of its resolve as Moscow presses on with its invasion of Ukraine.

"Russia is being accused of almost planning to attack the North Atlantic alliance and the European Union countries," Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an address to the UN General Assembly.

"Russia has never had and does not have any such intentions. However, any aggression against my country will be met with a decisive response," he said.
