NATO leadership does not consider the attack by Russian drones on Polish territory on the night of September 10 as an attack on an Alliance member country. Despite the fact that the Polish Armed Forces officially declared an “act of aggression” by Russia, the bloc is not going to react in any way.
Points of attention
- The Kremlin's preparations for drone attacks on Poland since July have raised concerns over escalating tensions and the potential impact on regional security.
- The incident highlights the growing concern over Russia's aggressive actions in the region and the necessity for coordinated international responses to safeguard peace and stability.
NATO has no intention of defending Poland yet
According to the publication Onet , initial data indicates that "the incident in Poland was a deliberate incursion by Russian drones."
However, what is important to understand is that "NATO does not consider the incursion of Russian drones into Polish territory to be an attack."
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk made a statement on this occasion.
He drew the attention of the international community to the fact that on the night of September 10, Russian drones were shot down over the territory of a NATO country for the first time.
However, he assured that there was no reason to panic.
The head of European diplomacy, Kai Kallas, voiced her position.
In her opinion, this is a deliberate and most serious violation of the airspace of a European Union state by Russia.
Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy stressed that at least eight strike drones were aimed at Poland that night.
He calls on the international community to respond with strong sanctions to Russia's provocations.
What is important to understand is that the Kremlin has been preparing drone attacks on Poland since July: Polish SIM cards were already being recorded on Russian UAVs.
