Polands Tusk warns Russia may strike border crossings with Ukraine after threat averted
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned on Thursday that Russia may target border crossings between Poland and Ukraine, citing intelligence and recent regional attacks.
Speaking at a press conference in Bratislava after a Visegrád Group meeting, Tusk said Polish and Ukrainian security services averted a “direct threat” to a Polish-Ukrainian border crossing overnight. “Last night, thanks to cooperation between our services and their Ukrainian counterparts, a direct threat to a border crossing was averted,” he stated .
Tusk linked the warning to a Russian drone strike on Wednesday that hit the Tudora-Starokozache crossing between Ukraine and Moldova, killing two people and injuring seven. “As you know, Russia has already resorted to provocative attacks on border crossings—for instance, in Moldova. We expect similar actions targeting border crossings with Ukraine in other countries, including Poland,” he said .
The prime minister also revealed he had received a “fairly precise report directly from the CIA regarding possible events in the coming months,” aligning with his longstanding warnings about Russian provocations. He urged Poland and Europe to prepare for multiple scenarios along NATO’s eastern flank, not just the Ukrainian front .
