Trump signals to Putin: “We will defend every inch of NATO territory”

US President Donald Trump stated that he is banning Russian drones from approaching Poland’s borders. This statement came in the wake of an incident where Russian drones entered Polish airspace.

Reaction of the US and Poland

US Ambassador to the UN Dorothy Shea confirmed the country’s commitment to defend every inch of NATO territory. In her statement, she also noted that the incident undermines efforts to end the war in Ukraine.

“The United States stands with its NATO allies against these alarming violations,” Shea emphasized.

Trump initially suggested that the Russian incursion into Polish airspace might have been a mistake. This statement elicited a sharp reaction from Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who in his post on the X network emphasized that while acknowledging the possibility of a mistake, they know it is not the case.

Escalation of Tensions in Europe

After this, Trump returned to the topic in an interview with Fox News, where he stated that he does not intend to allow Russian drones to approach Poland’s borders. His tweet questioned what is happening with Russia regarding the violation of Polish airspace. This incident has caused growing tension among NATO countries and led to an increase in security levels in Europe.

Poland received support from NATO allies when Western forces intervened to destroy some of the Russian drones. This set a precedent for direct NATO involvement in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine since February 2022. In response to the accusations, Russia denied claims of intentions to attack targets in Poland and stated that it did not intend to harm the territory of this country, but did not provide further details of the incident.
