Neutral summary

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said intelligence indicates Russia is planning hybrid attacks using drones and missiles against countries supporting Ukraine. He warned there is a real risk that drones or projectiles could hit the territory of NATO's eastern flank states, with Moscow likely to claim such incidents were accidental. Tusk said the goal is to weaken European faith in collective defense and demonstrate that NATO exists "only on paper." He also stated that Poland will not give up "a single inch" of its territory.
