“Poland is ready to react toughly against all airspace violations,” Tusk wrote Tuesday morning on X.
“In such a situation I’m counting on clear and full support from our allies,” he added via social media ahead of his visit to the TRAKO rail fair in Gdańsk, northern Poland — Central and Eastern Europe’s largest rail exhibition and the second largest in Europe, featuring 695 exhibitors from 29 countries.

Poland and Estonia warn of Russian airspace violations at UN Security Council meeting
Tensions between NATO and Russia have escalated following multiple violations of alliance airspace.

Poland, which recently intercepted 21 Russian drones over its territory, has highlighted the growing threat. Defence Minister Radosław Sikorski warned that any unauthorized incursions could trigger defensive responses.
Similar violations were reported in Estonia and across the Baltic region, involving Russian reconnaissance aircraft and fighter jets flying without flight plans or communication with air traffic control.
