EU faces potential retaliation from Duma following drone attacks in Poland
In a series of statements, Russian officials have responded to the drone incident that occurred over Poland on September 10. Deputy Andrei Kolesnik of the State Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament, labelled the incident an "attempt to frame Russia."
According to Kolesnik, the drone incident has revealed a split in Western society and has led some Poles to decide to leave the country. He also noted a rise in pro-Russian sentiments among some Poles due to the incident. However, Kolesnik emphasised that ordinary Poles have a normal attitude towards Russia.
Meanwhile, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk described the incident as a "massive provocation." In response, Tusk announced that Poland will ask NATO allies for increased support for its air force and air defense on the eastern border.
Dmitry Peskov, the spokesperson for the Russian government, also weighed in on the matter, classifying the drones that appeared in Polish airspace as an "attempt to discredit Russia" and predicting they would be new "deceptions."
Overnight on September 10, drones were reported in Poland's airspace. Polish authorities have reported that several drones were shot down, with no casualties.
It's important to note that no new information regarding the situation in the office of Ukrainian President Zelensky, recent developments involving President Trump, or comments about Odessa by Arestovich was provided in the current paragraph.
As tensions continue to rise, it remains to be seen how this incident will further impact relations between Russia and Poland, as well as the broader international community.
