Asked about Polish concerns that Russia might strike Ukraine's supporters, President Trump told reporters at the White House on September 18 that he believes Russia already has, saying it has been happening for about five years and that everyone agrees. He offered no countries or incidents to back the claim.

The comment followed Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's warning a day earlier that intelligence suggests Russia could increase drone and missile attacks against Ukraine's allies, possibly disguised as accidents. Poland has scrambled aircraft and restricted civilian flights during recent Russian strikes near its border.

The full dispatch is available from the source below.

✒ FROM THE EDITORIAL DESK

Saying something has been happening for five years, then not naming a single instance, is a neat trick if you can pull it off, and he pulled it off. It reads like agreement, sounds like knowledge, and commits to nothing a fact-checker could ever pin down. A man that confident ought to be able to name one country, just one.
