US EditionTrump: Russian drone incursion into Poland ‘could have been a mistake’
President Trump suggested the Russian drone incursions into Poland may have been unintentional, differing from allies who view it as a deliberate provocation in the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump told reporters at the White House, "It could have been a mistake, could have been a mistake, but regardless, I'm not happy about anything having to do with that whole situation, but hopefully it's going to come to an end."
- On September 10, 2025, nineteen Russian drones crossed into Poland, prompting Poland to activate NATO's Article 4 and request urgent consultations and an emergency UN Security Council meeting.
- Investigators found drone fragments 554 kilometres inside Poland, prompting Poland's Air Force to shoot down at least three drones as Warsaw Chopin, Modlin, Rzeszow, and Lublin airports briefly closed.
- Poland sought an emergency UN Security Council meeting and invoked Article 4, while U.S. Congress pushed for tougher sanctions as President Volodymyr Zelensky urged a 19th European Union package.
- European leaders condemned the breaches as deliberate and called the strikes a coordinated provocation, while Moscow denied targeting Poland and western security experts warned the pattern fits a tactic to test NATO's response.
