Poland warns Russia is planning drone or rocket strikes on NATO territory
Tusk said intelligence shows Moscow aims to use drone and missile strikes to disrupt Ukraine supply lines and test NATO’s response, including Article 5.
- On Thursday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned parliament that intelligence suggests Russia plans hybrid drone and missile strikes against countries supporting Ukraine to weaken NATO cohesion.

- Polish Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz confirmed Poland is reinforcing air defence and rapid response systems; Tusk plans to visit Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Friday to discuss the Anti-Ballistic Missile Coalition.
- Separately, President Donald Trump announced Thursday that progress continues toward establishing an Army base in Poland, crediting 'the bold leadership' of Polish President Karol Nawrocki for the historic step.
