Polish Prime Minister Warns of Potential Russian Hybrid Attacks Against NATO Allies] Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that Russia may be planning a hybrid drone and missile attack against countries supporting Ukraine, including NATO member Poland. Speaking to parliament, Tusk stated that based on evidence gathered by intelligence agencies, Russia's primary objective is to cripple Ukraine's economic and logistical systems and weaken NATO's resolve to support Ukraine through attacks on NATO member states. He described this as the "most likely scenario." Poland, a crucial conduit for aid to Ukraine, has recently experienced several suspicious incidents, including cyberattacks targeting water, energy facilities, and hospitals, as well as damage to the Warsaw-Ukrainian border railway line. Tusk indicated that Russia may be attempting to create the risk of drones or missiles entering the airspace of NATO's eastern flank, describing it as an "accidental incident." Tusk stated that Russia has recently intensified its attacks on Ukraine, including targets near the Polish border. He anticipates continued, high-frequency attacks on six major Ukrainian cities, targeting warehouses, defense supplies, and railway infrastructure.
