"In Poland today, we need clarity. We know that Russian actions are not coincidences, they are not mistakes. An alliance with our partners, and one such partner is Great Britain, gives us a sense of security," - Polish PM Donald Tusk

Donald Tusk also announced an increase in production of 155mm missiles. "Their importance is enormous. We see this in Ukraine," Donald Tusk emphasized.

At least 21 Russian drones entered Polish territory during the massive Russian attack on Ukraine on Sept 10.

“NATO is not at war with Russia, but Russia is broadening this war beyond Ukraine,” said Polish Minister of Foreign Affairs Radosław Sikorski echoing the words of Poland’s PM Donald Tusk

Claims of Ukrainian provocation over drone attacks echo Russian propaganda – MFA Sikorski

Calling the drone intrusion “a moment of truth,” Sikorski insisted Poland is certain the attack was a Russian operation, not an accident.

Drones that flew into Poland were heading towards the NATO base in Rzeszów, -according to preliminary investigation data cited by Spiegel & Welt.

Spiegel names the location of this base as Rzeszów, Poland, through which military aid was being supplied to Ukraine.

Russian Z-military channels on the night of Sept. 10

🇷🇺💥🇵🇱 Right now, one of the "Geran" drones is flying towards the Polish city of Rzeszów, where a huge logistics hub is located, through which the supply of Western weapons to the Armed Forces of Ukraine is carried out.

🇵🇱🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺🇺🇸

Z-channels are now openly claiming that the drones were specifically for Poland.

For this, the “Gerbers” (imitators of “Shaheds”) were equipped with additional fuel tanks — something that was not installed on drones intended for Ukraine.
