"(We are) drawing the world's attention to this unprecedented Russian drone attack on a member of the UN, EU, and Nato, deputy prime minister and foreign minister Radosaw Sikorski told RMF FM radio. I have spoken before the UN security council in the past, and it seemed to me that our arguments resonated, that they broke through. We have not yet decided who will speak on behalf of Poland, he said."
"Sikorski also insisted that the attack was deliberate. 19 violations of our airspace, several dozen drones identified, a few shot down, the action lasting 7 hours, the whole night so we cannot say it was an accident, he said. Sikorski said Poland was getting a tsunami of declarations of support from allies, but needs this to be translated to facts."
Poland requested an emergency UN Security Council meeting after reporting an unprecedented Russian drone attack that violated Polish airspace. Deputy Prime Minister Radosaw Sikorski described 19 airspace violations, several dozen drones identified, a few shot down, and an action that lasted seven hours overnight, calling the attack deliberate. Poland reported widespread declarations of allied support while demanding tangible measures and dismissed claims that the drones were Ukrainian as Russian disinformation. Former US Army Europe commander Ben Hodges warned that Russian incursions show disregard for the US and Europe, criticized Poland's aerial response, and urged ground-based defenses and tighter EU and US sanctions.
