Poland’s prime minister says Russia is preparing ‘accidental’ drone and missile strikes on NATO countries that support Ukraine

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk told parliament that intelligence assessments point to Russia planning ‘hybrid’ drone and missile strikes designed to look accidental against NATO countries backing Ukraine. He said such strikes would be intended to weaken NATO members' resolve to invoke mutual defense provisions after an attack on a member state.

Tusk linked the warning to recent incidents: NATO jets shot down a drone over Lithuania in September, later attributed to Russia, and drones have repeatedly drifted into Estonian, Lithuanian and Latvian airspace. He also cited a drone strike near the Polish-Ukrainian border and an attack close to a train carrying Western politicians returning from Ukraine.

Tusk further suggested Russia's timing could coincide with political shifts in Europe toward leaders framing capitulation to Russia as a peace platform.
