"The Russian military knows exactly where their drones are headed," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Saturday.

Last week, NATO members sent aircraft to support the Polish military amid the air threat, mere days after Poland shot down Russian drones. Despite Putin sending drones into Polish

A swarm of Russian drones flew last week into Poland in what officials there regarded as a deliberate provocation.

Responding to President Trump, Poland's leader said, "we would also wish that the drone attack on Poland was a mistake. But it wasn't."

Polish and allied aircraft were deployed in a "preventive" operation across Poland's airspace on Saturday, prompting the temporary closure of Lublin airport, amid concerns over potential drone strikes in neighbouring Ukrainian regions.

The incursion of a significant number of Russian drones into Poland is a dramatic and unsettling escalation of the war in Ukraine.

Poland deployed air force jets for the second time in a week, alerted residents and closed Lublin airport near the Ukrainian border because of drones flying in its neighbor’s airspace, its Operational Command said in a post on X.

On Sept. 15, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said, "NATO is at war with Russia. This is obvious, and it does not require any additional evidence."
