The White House insisted it was too late, as the planes were already in international airspace.

Last Saturday, he issued a verbal order to the government to turn around the deportation flights, but the White House said it was too late as the planes were already in international airspace.

Their journey was one of the most watched on the flight tracking website Flightradar24 after the balloon entered the UK airspace off the coast of Clacton-on-Sea, Essex, at about 17:00 GMT on Tuesday.

But the White House said the planes were already in international airspace, arguing that the judge's order was therefore invalid.

European jets and warships would help monitor Ukraine's airspace and shipping lanes.
