Russian Drone Violates Polish Airspace; U.S. Secretary of State: "Unacceptable" | WPN World People News

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on the 14th warned that Russian drones had violated Polish airspace earlier this week during attacks on Ukraine, calling it an “unfortunate and dangerous development.”

In an interview in Washington, Rubio said the key question was whether the drones intentionally entered Polish territory: “If evidence shows it was deliberate, the situation will clearly escalate.”

U.S. President Donald Trump had stated on the 11th that the Russian drones may have “strayed” into Polish airspace, but his remarks raised doubts among European nations. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk immediately pushed back, writing on X: “Of course we hope it was accidental, but that is not the case—we know the truth.”

Polish authorities reported that a total of 17 Russian drones crossed into the country’s eastern airspace on the 10th, all of which were shot down. While no casualties or major damage occurred, debris confirmed their Russian origin. The incident comes as Moscow rejected Trump’s proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine.

As a NATO member, Poland’s security is guaranteed by U.S.-led allied forces. Many European countries and the European Union see this incident as a test of Russia’s willingness to challenge NATO’s resolve.
