El EconomistaPutin Challenged Trump in Poland
Russian President Vladimir Putin followed his red-carpet summit with Donald Trump in Alaska by escalating attacks on Ukraine and provocations on NATO's eastern flank. Unless Trump responds adequately to the incursion of Russian combat drones in Poland, it will signal to Putin that he can humiliate the US president with impunity.
Polish Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said Putin took advantage of the good will of Trump and warned that the introduction of Russian drones in Poland is a test for NATO.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that US President Donald Trump should already understand that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin ignores all peaceful initiatives while continuing the war against Ukraine.
Russian drones penetrated deep into Polish airspace during the night of Wednesday. Poland's Foreign Minister Radoslav Sikorski has now commented on the incident.
