Poland summoned the Russian charge d’affaires and demanded an explanation for the violation of Poland’s airspace by a missile and an immediate halt to such activities, Poland’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Friday evening.
According to the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces, a Russian missile entered the airspace of the NATO member on Friday morning. Ukrainian authorities had reported a mass attack on various cities throughout Ukraine overnight.
“On Friday at 7:12 local time (01:12 ET), from the direction of the border with Ukraine, there was a violation of Polish airspace by an object that left Poland’s territory after less than three minutes,” Poland’s General Staff wrote on X social media.
next time destroy anything that violates the polish air space and tell russia to fuck off. they understand only one language…
I understand and support the idea bit Poland can’t afford such action.
If Poland takes down an object invading their air space, of probable russian origin, it can be considered a first hostile movement and Russia can move to retaliate.
Being part of the EU, Poland shooting first would drag the entire bloc into an open armed conflict. It may happen but not yet.
but russia is violating their borders…if they would start something it’s an easy article 5 case…
