Poland Vows to Shoot Down Russian Incursions as EU Plans ‘Drone Wall’ Amid Rising Tensions
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk issued a forceful declaration Monday, stating that Warsaw will immediately shoot down any enemy aircraft violating its airspace, following recent Russian drone incursions into NATO territory. “We will make a decision to shoot down flying objects without discussion when they violate our territory and fly over Poland. There is no room for debate here,” Tusk told reporters, signaling a hardening stance against Moscow.
The warning comes after Russia sent drones into both Poland and Romania earlier this month, and notably, an incursion into Estonia, putting NATO on heightened alert across Europe. Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski further condemned Russia’s actions from New York, stating, “Your insane nationalism contains a lust for domination that will not cease until you realize that the age of empires is over and that your empire will not be rebuilt.”
In response to these multiple breaches of NATO airspace, the European Union is set to launch discussions on establishing a comprehensive “drone wall” to fortify Europe’s eastern border against potential aggression from Moscow. Seven EU member countries, including Poland, are scheduled to convene an online meeting with the European Commission and Ukraine on Friday to deliberate on this critical defensive initiative.
