Russia carrying out drone attack against Poland in ‘act of war,’ lawmaker says
Russia is attacking Poland with Iranian drones, testing the NATO alliance’s resolve as the country wars with Ukraine, a Republican lawmaker said.
Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) said the country is targeting Poland to test the military alliance.
“Russia is attacking NATO ally Poland with Iranian shahed drones less than a week after President Trump hosted President Nawrocki at the White House,” Wilson wrote on X.
“This is an act of war, and we are grateful to NATO allies for their swift response to war criminal Putin’s continued unprovoked aggression against free and productive nations. I urge President Trump to respond with mandatory sanctions that will bankrupt the Russian war machine and arm Ukraine with weapons capable of striking Russia. Putin is no longer content just losing in Ukraine while bombing mothers and babies, he is now directly testing our resolve in NATO territory. Putin stated that ‘Russia knows no borders.’ Free and prosperous nations will teach Russia about borders,” he concluded.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) reflected a similar sentiment earlier in the evening.
“Repeated violations of NATO airspace by Russian drones are fair warning that Vladimir Putin is testing our resolve to protect Poland and the Baltic nations. After the carnage Putin continues to visit on Ukraine, these incursions cannot be ignored,” he said.
