Poland Says It Expects Russia Will Target Its Border Crossings with Ukraine
Donald Tusk said Polish and Ukrainian services stopped a direct threat overnight, and warned Russia may target border crossings as it seeks to weaken Kyiv.
- On Thursday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced in Bratislava that Polish and Ukrainian services averted a direct threat to one of their shared border crossings overnight through joint cooperation.
- Tusk warned that Russia continues targeting international border checkpoints to weaken Ukraine economically, citing Wednesday's drone strike on an Odesa crossing that killed two people as a recent example.
- Intelligence provided directly by the CIA outlines potential security threats over the coming months, which Tusk said aligns with his long-standing warnings about escalating regional instability.
- "We must anticipate various scenarios; both Poland and all of Europe need to be prepared for different possibilities," Tusk stated, emphasizing heightened risks along the eastern flank.
- Tusk has repeatedly cautioned that NATO's eastern flank must remain vigilant as Russia's ongoing war in Ukraine, which began in 2022, threatens shared borders across the region.
