In an article in X, Whitaker wrote, “We stand against the violations of this airspace of our allies, and we will defend every inch of the NATO region, Whisper wrote.

British Defense Secretary John Healey said British armed forces to look at NATO’s options to support the air defense on Poland ”. The Polish counterpart was talking after an E5 Minister meeting from France, Germany, England, Italy and Poland, where he left early to return home due to the drone attack.

Healey said: “Today, as five nations, we say to President Putin: Your aggression only serves to strengthen the unity among our NATO nations, your aggression serves to strengthen our determination to stand with Ukraine.”

Russia has launched almost night attacks on Ukraine using large, Kamikaze drones, which are officially known as the “Halaleds ,, based on Iran design. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that 415 drones and 40 missiles were used in the attack on Wednesday morning, on a night targeting the western parts of most countries. A person was killed in the ZhyTomyr region.

Zelenskyy called on NATO countries to start a strong response to the attack on Poland. In an article on social media, Zelenskyy wrote, “Moscow is always testing possible boundaries and if he does not meet a strong reaction, he crosses a new level of ascension.” “Today was another climbing step… It is not a ‘shahed’ that could be called an accident, but at least eight attack drones targeting Poland.”

The Russian Ministry of Defense made a statement that Moscow’s drones have entered the Poland airspace without confirming or rejecting it, “there is no intention of participating in any targets in Poland”. “We are ready to take consultations with the Polish Ministry of Defense,” he added.

Russia’s charges against Moscow, Russia in Poland Chargé d’Affares, Andrei Ordash, called it unfounded, and said, “No evidence has been presented that proves that these drones are of Russian origin.”

Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski said that Warsaw was dealing with a deliberate attack. “When one or two drones do this, it is possible to have a technical malfunction, but… In this case there was 19 violations and it challenges the imagination that it could be an accidental.”

Tusk insisted that there was no reason for panic, but he said that Poland demanded official consultations by alliance, Article 4 of NATO. 4 items have been called only seven times since NATO was created in 1949, and the last time in 2022 after Russia’s full -scale Ukrainian invasion.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Sybiha urged the neighboring countries to hit Russian missiles and drones on the Ukrainian airspace, especially in the western regions of the country, especially in the country’s border. “Ukraine has proposed such a step for a long time. It needs to be thrown for collective safety,” he said.

So far, Ukraine’s neighbors, Russian missiles and drones directly rejected the potential of climbing the potential of climbing.

Russia and Belarus will organize a large military exercise on Friday, expressing security concerns in the region and leads Poland to closing all land borders with Belarus.

Trump came to office with a quick promise to the war, but could not convince Putin to accept a ceasefire.

At the beginning of this week, a Situation Cruise missile hit the Cabinet of Ministers, a key government building in Kiev.
