RUSSIA’S drone attack on Poland was deliberate and shows Vladimir Putin is laughing at Donald Trump’s peace efforts, Warsaw has claimed.
Poland’s deputy PM Radek Sikorski yesterday dismissed the Kremlin’s “lies and denials” over the blitz.
He said: “Poland’s airspace was breached 19 times by drones manufactured in Russia.
“The assessment of Polish and Nato air forces is that they did not veer off course but were targeted.”
He added: “The Kremlin is again mocking President Trump’s peace efforts.”
The drones crossed into Polish airspace early on Wednesday.
Three were shot down and others crashed near its borders with Ukraine and Belarus in the east of the country.
The attack appeared to be testing radar defences, military sources said.
It follows reports that Russia has used Polish and Lithuanian sim cards in drones so they can connect to mobile masts to navigate in the countries.
Lithuania, Ukraine and Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz also said they believed the blitz was deliberate.
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said the West needed to send a firm message to Putin: “Only united European forces can give real protection.
“Unfortunately, so far, Russia has not yet faced a tough reaction from global leaders.”
