Trump to Speak with Polish President Following U.S. Vow to defend NATO Amid Russian Drone Incursion
WARSAW – Former U.S. President Donald Trump is scheduled to speak with Polish President Andrzej Duda following assurances from the United States that it will defend NATO against Russian aggression, triggered by a reported incursion of Russian drones into Polish airspace during an attack on Ukraine. The incident has heightened tensions in Eastern Europe and prompted strong reactions from key NATO members.
The drone incursion, occurring on Wednesday, september 10, 2025, prompted immediate condemnation and a reaffirmation of NATO’s collective defense commitment. The incident underscores the escalating risks of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and raises concerns about potential spillover effects into NATO territory. Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul stated Russia has “recklessly accepted a dangerous escalation,” adding,”Unfortunately,it is clear that even after three years,Moscow is still not prepared to negotiate seriously for peace.”
Russia’s defense ministry acknowledged a major drone attack on military facilities in western Ukraine but denied any intention of targeting locations within Poland. The ministry stated the drones involved had a range of no more than 700 km (434 miles) and offered to hold consultations with the Polish Defence Ministry regarding the incident.
The U.S. commitment to defend NATO was delivered as allies grapple with the implications of the drone incursion. The incident has fueled calls for a robust response to deter further Russian aggression and reinforce NATO’s eastern flank. Further discussions are expected among NATO members to determine the appropriate course of action.
