Pro-Kremlin portals KP.ru and RIA Novosti questioned statements by Polish authorities about drones that crossed into Poland overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday, asserting that Warsaw presented no substantiation.
KP.ru said Prime Minister Donald Tusk “gave no evidence or details,” and that Poland’s armed forces “provided no proof” to support the information.
State agency RIA Novosti likewise claimed the prime minister “offered no evidence” that Russian drones were downed.
War blogger Aleksandr Kots amplified the narrative on his Telegram channel, saying “no one was shown the wreckage” of the drones and suggesting it would “not be difficult” to display fragments of Russian unmanned aircraft brought from Ukraine as purported proof.
He described the “information noise” as mainly political, adding that a drone that fell in Estonia had not triggered “such an allergic reaction.”
“It looks like the Europeans have figured out how to influence (U.S. President Donald) Trump,” his Kotsnews channel said.
Maria Avdiieva of the U.S.-based Foreign Policy Research Institute said Russian war bloggers were circulating a fake map claiming the drone attack on Poland was tracked in real time and that the target was the airport in Rzeszów.
She posted on X a screenshot of the bogus airspace image, presented as coming from FlightRadar, that purported to show a Russian drone heading toward the city.
Avdiieva noted the false graphic was being touted as “proof that the attack was planned and deliberate.”
