Polish aviation is forced to react to Russian strikes near border infrastructure
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that Russian attacks on Ukraine are getting closer to his country's borders. Due to these developments, Polish security forces are preparing for potential threats. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine (Марія Науменко) citing TVP INFO, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
Ahead of a cabinet meeting, Donald Tusk announced the onset of an extremely tense period for Poland’s security architecture. The official stressed that Russia’s aggressive actions complicate the regional situation and require increased vigilance along the border areas.
Air threats near the borders
The head of the Polish government pointed to regular activity by Russian forces in the immediate vicinity of the border. This dynamic forces Warsaw to constantly deploy combat aircraft to monitor airspace and respond quickly to provocations.
According to the Prime Minister, enemy strikes now encompass not only areas adjacent to Poland but also critical infrastructure and international border crossings. Donald Tusk noted that Polish services are forced to scramble aircraft almost daily.
Cooperation with the Ukrainian side
The Polish leadership is actively adjusting channels for operational data exchange with the relevant authorities in Ukraine. This coordination allows for advance information on the flight paths of aerial targets.
Ukrainian defense forces are working to neutralize threats before they reach European territory. In addition to sharing data, this involves the direct destruction of enemy munitions in the skies over Ukraine.
The situation escalated following an incident on September 28, when a Russian drone was recorded in the village of Starovoitove in the Volyn region. Debris and the blast wave caused damage to the infrastructure of the Yahodyn border crossing, located approximately two kilometers from the Polish border.
