Poland Pursues Stronger Military Agenda After Russian Drone Incursion
Understanding the conflict three years on.
Welcome back to World Brief, where we’re looking at Poland’s response to Russia’s drone incursion, British ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and how Israel’s strike on Qatar may have torpedoed hostage release talks.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk pledged on Thursday to continue pursuing a “great modernization program” for his country’s military, just one day after NATO fighter jets shot down several Russian drones over Polish airspace. The statement signals growing Western concern that Moscow seeks to expand its war against Ukraine, even as the Kremlin denies targeting Poland.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk pledged on Thursday to continue pursuing a “great modernization program” for his country’s military, just one day after NATO fighter jets shot down several Russian drones over Polish airspace. The statement signals growing Western concern that Moscow seeks to expand its war against Ukraine, even as the Kremlin denies targeting Poland.
“The Russian provocation was nothing more than an attempt to test our capabilities and response. It was an attempt to check the mechanism of operation within NATO and our ability to react,” Polish President Karol Nawrocki said on Thursday. “Thank you, because we passed all these tests.”
Warsaw is expected to receive its first batch of F-35 fighter jets from the United States next year as part of a support package of 32 aircraft that was finalized five years ago. Germany on Thursday announced it would “extend and expand air policing over Poland” in response to Russia’s drone incursion, while the Netherlands and the Czech Republic said they would send defenses to Warsaw.
