US Warns Poland of Possible Limited Russian Incursion to Test NATO ResponsePreviousNext

The United States has warned Poland of a potential limited Russian military incursion aimed at testing NATO's response, according to sources close to the Polish government. Reports suggest Russia might conduct missile or drone strikes, simulated airstrikes, or a brief ground operation possibly involving Belarusian troops. The incursion could be framed by Russia as accidental to avoid full-scale conflict, with objectives including weakening Western support for Ukraine and prompting negotiations.
