US President Donald Trump commented on the incident with Russian drones that violated Polish airspace on September 10. The politician did not rule out that it could have been an accident, but emphasized that he was not satisfied with this situation.
This is reported by Clash Report.
“Maybe it was a mistake. But regardless of what the reason was, I’m unhappy with what’s happening. I really hope this situation ends as soon as possible,” Trump said, answering questions from reporters.
The incident has raised concerns in Europe, as Poland is a NATO member and the violation of its airspace could potentially have serious international repercussions. However, the official US response to the incident has so far remained subdued.
Recall, after a group of Russian drones penetrated the airspace of Poland, a NATO member state, a number of Western governments expressed solidarity and concern . Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson condemned the violation of the Polish border by Russian drones, calling it an “unacceptable act.” Latvian President Edgars Rinkėvičius also issued a statement, emphasizing Poland’s full support. In his opinion, such incidents indicate that the Russian Federation’s war against Ukraine has direct consequences for the security of neighboring states.
Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide described the situation as “deeply worrying,” emphasizing that Norway stands shoulder to shoulder with Poland and other NATO allies.
As reported, on the night of September 9-10, the situation in Eastern Europe escalated again – Russia launched a massive strike on the territory of Ukraine, while a number of enemy drones crossed the air border of Poland . This forced Warsaw to activate air defense forces and engage aviation.
It should be noted that last night 19 Russian drones violated Polish airspace . Polish air defense forces were able to eliminate only four of them.
It should be added that later , in addition to seven drones, a missile fragment was also found on Polish territory.
By the way, on the morning of September 10 , Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk initiated an urgent government meeting due to an incident involving the violation of the country’s airspace by Russian drones.
As is known, the night attack by Russian drones on the territory of Poland, which Warsaw called an “unprecedented violation”, was another step by the Kremlin on the path of escalation. It seems that this incident was carefully prepared long before the current phase: among the wreckage of the downed UAVs, found back in July, 4G modems with SIM cards of Polish and Lithuanian operators were found. This indicates that Russia was preparing for flights of its strike drones over the territories of these countries and testing the possibility of connecting them to local mobile networks.
