Poland-Russia Tensions: Poland PM Donald Tusk and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The Kremlin dismissed accusations that Russian drones were behind overnight incursions into Polish airspace, calling the allegations “groundless”, even as European leaders warned the incidents marked a dangerous escalation. Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk told parliament that the country faced its most dangerous moment since World War Two after seven drones and debris of an unidentified object were discovered across multiple provinces.
“I have no reason to claim we’re on the brink of war, but a line has been crossed and it’s incomparably more dangerous than before,” Donald Tusk said.

Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala said it was “hard to believe” the strikes were coincidental, accusing Russia of “systematically probing to see how far it can go.” Finland’s President Alexander Stubb argued Russia “seeks escalation” and bears responsibility for violating Polish airspace.
