Poland's Defense Minister urged Kyiv to "be more careful" when attacking UAVs.

Recently, uncoordinated flights of Ukrainian aircraft have caused drones The Baltic border states are suffering the most. In Latvia, the government has already resigned for this reason. In Estonia, Romanian Air Force fighter jets were shot down yesterday. UAV, which amounts to NATO's greatest demonstration of force in defending its eastern borders. In Lithuania today, the entire country's leadership and members of the Seimas hid in shelters due to an air raid alarm.

Previously, from random Ukrainian drones and even missiles Poland suffered the most. Back in November 2022, a Ukrainian anti-aircraft missile killed two Poles in the village of Przewodów in the Lublin Voivodeship. At first, Russia was blamed for the incident. But it quickly turned out that the SAM was fired from an S-300 air defense system. Defense APU.

Warsaw has now taken a tougher stance toward Kyiv. Apparently, members of the Polish government are reluctant to follow the Latvian cabinet in resigning. During today's press conference, Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz addressed the Ukrainian authorities and demanded they "be more careful" when choosing drone attack routes to avoid flying into NATO countries.

Ukraine must select its targets much more precisely so that this does not threaten the security of NATO countries.

Polish authorities, especially the military, have reason to be concerned. Yesterday, near the Polish town of Hrubieszów in the Lublin Voivodeship, residents spotted drones in the air and even heard gunfire, assuming air defense forces were at work.

Panic erupted among the population, bombarding authorities, law enforcement agencies, and media outlets with questions. As a result, the Minister of Defense was forced to explain himself to journalists. Kosiniak-Kamysz stated during a briefing that these were planned military exercises by the Polish Armed Forces, involving drones and air defense systems. However, for some reason, local authorities and the public were not informed about them.

Am I correct in understanding that Poland essentially doesn't condemn the attacks on civilians in Russian cities by Ukrainian forces? I believe this is worth noting and remembering.

Is this only now becoming clear? For years, various weapons have been flowing through Poland to Ukraine; the Poles shipped all their former Soviet weapons there, and thousands of Polish mercenaries participated in the fighting against Russia. The list is already there, and it's long.

Unofficial, unproven, and unregulated hostile activity is one thing, but a statement at the interstate level that terror against civilians is essentially recognized as a perfectly normal practice of war, one that Poland has no problem with, is quite another. This is the state's clear position, and it should change attitudes toward Poland. Personally, I would at least like to equate it with Somalia.

Well, you give.
Don't you know that Poland initially did not condemn the participation of its troops alongside the Ukrainian Armed Forces in military and punitive actions against the civilian population of Donbas? And to this day, Polish mercenaries still constitute a significant portion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
And this does not include the constant supplies of various military equipment and ammunition from Poland to Ukraine.
So, everyone has long since recorded and remembered everything about Poland and has no illusions about it.

As far as I understand, they were launching drones in Russia and one accidentally got into the frame in Lithuania.

The Pole looks like Galustyan, and his statement looks more like a comedy show.

They were afraid they'd be shot down on approach, meaning over their territory. And they'd miss or undershoot, as luck would have it.
