Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated on September 13 that the authorities cannot rule out escalation of conflict with Russia affecting Poland’s territory. The announcement came during a briefing at the State Security Center.
Tusk linked his concerns to drones recorded near Ukraine’s border on the morning of September 13. He expressed hope that the worst-case scenario would be avoided.
Additionally, Poland plans to allocate defense spending higher than any other NATO country as preparation for potential confrontation with Russia.
The Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova criticized Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski’s remarks about a possible conflict with Russia, labeling them “Russophobia of the brain.” She had previously described Sikorski as having “Russophrenia,” noting that such an affliction is not limited to certain areas of Western Europe but also affects political figures in Warsaw.
