A NATO spokesman repeated these comments and said to X that “numerous drones overnight entered Polish airspace and were hit with Polish and NATO air defense”.
The incident marks the first time that Poland included assets in its airspace in the full invasion of Ukraine in Russia in early 2022.

In turn, the Trump administration has asked the EU to meet China and India with tariffs of up to 100% over the Russian oil purchases of the federal states in order to reduce an important source for the financing of President Vladimir Putin’s war machine.
Some Polish airports, including the international airport in the capital, Warsaw Chopin, were temporarily closed due to military activities. Warsaw Chopin and others have been reopened since then.

The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that about eight Russian drones were involved in the idea of the Polish area and described the development “an extremely dangerous precedent for Europe”.
A Russian diplomat said that Poland has not given any evidence that the drones in question were Russian origin.

“Russia is absolutely interested in an escalation with Poland, but unfortunately we cannot rely on the fact that the Polish authorities listen to us in their anti-Russian madness,” said Ordash.
At the end of 2022, a Polish territory in the village of Przewodów met near the border of the country to Ukraine near the border of the country to Ukraine. It was believed that the Ukrainian air defense workers rejected a Russian attack, while NATO is currently to blame for the Russian armed forces.
