On Thursday, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that Russia is planning hybrid drone or rocket strikes on NATO countries supporting Ukraine, including Poland. He said Russia would pretend these attacks are accidental to weaken NATO's collective defense. Tusk cited intelligence from NATO, Ukrainian, and U.S. agencies, noting Russia's use of jet-powered drones that are harder to detect.
