Story summary

Donald Tusk, Poland's Prime Minister, warned in a speech to the Polish Parliament that Russia plans to launch "hybrid" drone and missile attacks against countries supporting Ukraine, potentially including Poland. These strikes would be presented as accidental incidents to paralyze or weaken NATO’s willingness to respond collectively under Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty. Intelligence suggests Russia is increasingly using high-speed jet-powered drones, making such attacks harder to intercept before they reach their targets. The warnings come amid growing tensions and recent Russian drone activity near Ukraine's border with Poland. Tusk plans to visit Ukraine next to discuss cooperation within an integrated air defense system, a cheaper alternative to the US-built Patriot missile defense system.
