Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has cautioned that the coming months could be "critical" in the face of an ongoing Russian threat, following reports citing US intelligence that Moscow is planning an armed provocation against Poland to test NATO's resolve. The alleged plans, reported by Polish outlet Onet and Britain's Telegraph, suggest Russian forces could target Polish infrastructure with missiles or drones — or even deploy soldiers into the NATO member state — with the aim of pressuring Ukraine's western allies to halt military aid. Tusk acknowledged awareness of the threat while urging calm, saying Poland was "preparing for various situations," as Baltic states also voice growing concern over potential Russian hybrid warfare operations in the region ahead of a NATO summit in Turkey next week.
