Boris Johnson Narrowly Escapes Drone Attack in Ukraine
- On Sunday, a Russian drone struck a passenger train near the Polish border, shortly after a diplomatic train carrying former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson passed through the station.
- Ukrainian Railways reported the diplomatic train departed early due to the "constant threat of Russian strikes," as Russia has escalated attacks near the border in recent weeks, including in Yahodyn.
- Former CIA Director David Petraeus and former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt were on a separate train during the attack, which the rail operator called "quite likely" a targeted strike.
- Johnson condemned the attack as "random and senseless," while Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described it as "Putin's terror knocking directly on the doors of the EU and NATO."
- British Defense Minister Wes Streeting called the attacks a "stark reminder" of the regional security threat, while Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski warned of wider implications for potential future victims.
