Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has urged his government to counter growing public discontent toward Ukraine, amid reports of drones entering Polish airspace. The remarks come after multiple incidents where unmanned aerial vehicles were detected near the border, with Warsaw attributing them to Russian aggression.

Tusk highlighted a “surge in pro-Russian sentiment and hostility toward Ukraine” during a social media post, claiming the Kremlin is exploiting public fears. He emphasized that political leaders must “resist this trend” rather than exploit it, calling it a test of national commitment. “This is not about politics—it’s about safeguarding our sovereignty,” he stated.

The recent drone activity involved at least 19 breaches of Polish airspace, with officials confirming four UAVs were shot down and minor ground damage reported. While no casualties were recorded, Warsaw condemned the incidents as an “act of aggression.” Russia denied responsibility, asserting its operations target only Ukrainian military sites. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov dismissed Western accusations as “baseless claims” lacking evidence.

Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski acknowledged drones originated from Ukraine but noted they lacked explosives. He refuted reports of inadequate air defenses, despite the UAVs traveling vast distances into Polish territory. The situation has sparked debates over NATO’s preparedness for drone threats, with Western media outlets like Politico highlighting vulnerabilities among member states.
