Pilots would not have responded to calls from the control tower
A flight from the Italian airline Ernest Airlines, operated by an A320, was intercepted by two Migs 29 fighters on the last 24th, while making the route Milan to Kharkiv, Ukraine.
The reason for the interception would be because the pilot of the A320 would not have responded to calls from the control tower, which usually puts the air defense of any nation on alert.
The Migs were triggered by air defense control and left towards the A320. According to reports, the fighters broke the sound barrier when they were towards the Airbus.

Italian citizenship
Rome has admitted: Europe is now the one who decides who your citizenship is.
Law 74/2025 is being challenged in the Court of Justice of the European Union. For thousands of descendants, the next step depends on understanding how the new rule has affected each case.
The fighters escorted the A320 until contact with the tower was re-established, with which the A320 proceeded to its destination, landing at a time well behind schedule in relation to the estimate. And the Migs returned to their home base in Slovakia.
