Poland warns Russia likely to intensify provocations on Ukraine’s borders with European countries
Tusk said 2 border incidents this week show Russia may step up pressure on Ukraine’s crossings with European neighbors.
- Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned Thursday that border incidents in Moldova and Ukraine preview intensified Russian provocations, citing a briefing from CIA Director Jim Ratcliffe regarding potential hybrid attacks on Poland and Baltic nations.
- Intelligence reports indicate Russia may execute limited military or hybrid provocations against Poland, Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania in the near future, aligning with warnings Tusk has issued for months.
- Two people died when Russian drones struck the Starokozache border crossing Tuesday night, while a "direct threat" to a Polish-Ukrainian crossing point Wednesday night was avoided through cooperation between Warsaw and Kyiv, Tusk said.
- Moldova suspended activity at the Vulcanesti crossing following an Iranian-made Shahed drone strike, while Romania reported an almost threefold increase in drone incursions with debris found near the Danube River border.
- High defense spending and major American arms purchases have persuaded the President Donald Trump administration to consider a permanent U.S. military base in Poland, with Department of Defense officials currently evaluating locations.
