Russia is preparing a new provocation against NATO to blame Ukraine – Polish Ministry of Defense

Russia may try to stage a new provocation against NATO countries by using drones with Ukrainian markings.

This is reported by RMF24 with reference to the Minister of National Defense of Poland, Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz.

According to him, the Russian military could launch a swarm of drones over Poland, the Baltic countries, Finland, or Romania, and then try to shift responsibility to Ukraine.

The minister stressed that such a scenario is quite possible, as Russia has used similar methods more than once. That is why the Polish authorities warn about such risks in advance.

The committee meeting also discussed other hybrid attacks by Russia, including GPS jamming, cyberattacks, sabotage, and information campaigns.

Kosiniak-Kamysh called on Poles to be critical of information online and check its sources so as not to become a tool of Russian propaganda.

Jacek Dobrzynski, a spokesman for the Polish Minister-Coordinator of Special Services, added that Russian special services often try to involve Ukrainians, especially young people, in sabotage. He gave the example of an 18-year-old Ukrainian citizen, against whom Polish law enforcement officers have brought 47 charges in cases related to sabotage and sabotage.

The meeting participants paid special attention to the situation in Ukraine. According to Kosiniak-Kamysz, the Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army reported that in the last week alone, Russian troops have carried out 904 combat attacks against Ukrainian forces.

The Polish Defense Minister also said that the latest Russian strikes with cruise and ballistic missiles were the most extensive since the start of the full-scale invasion. In his opinion, this once again proves that support for Ukraine from partners remains critically important.
