Poland warns Russia likely to intensify provocations on Ukraine’s borders with European countries
Tusk said Poland expects similar Russian attacks on border crossings after a drone strike killed two people near Moldova this week.
- On Thursday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced in Bratislava that Polish and Ukrainian services averted a direct threat to one of their shared border crossings overnight through joint cooperation.
- Tusk warned that Russia continues targeting international border checkpoints to weaken Ukraine economically, citing Wednesday's drone strike on an Odesa crossing that killed two people as a recent example.
- Intelligence provided directly by the CIA outlines potential security threats over the coming months, which Tusk said aligns with his long-standing warnings about escalating regional instability.
- "We must anticipate various scenarios; both Poland and all of Europe need to be prepared for different possibilities," Tusk stated, emphasizing heightened risks along the eastern flank.
- Tusk has repeatedly cautioned that NATO's eastern flank must remain vigilant as Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine, which began in 2022, threatens shared borders across the region.
