The Russian embassy in Poland dismissed Warsaw’s accusations that Russian drones had violated Polish airspace.
Poland, a NATO ally, said 19 Russian drones crossed into its territory amid an attack on western Ukraine and that some had to be shot down.
It triggered NATO’s Article 4 mechanism in response, which formally alerts fellow allies to a significant threat and starts a consultation on how to respond.
“The Polish side once again failed to present evidence of the Russian origin of the objects that entered Polish airspace (and there is no reason to expect that it will), and completely groundlessly accused Russia of provocative actions,” the Russian embassy told Newsweek in a statement.
