Poland, the gateway to Europe

"Because your not going to laugh in a moment, Russian drones are flying over Poland and what are you doing - having another discussion about helping migrants?"

Poland serves as a gateway to Europe due to its strategic geographical location, extensive transportation infrastructure, strong logistics sector, and growing economy. Positioned at the crossroads of major east-west and north-south trade routes, Poland is a vital hub for trade and security within Europe.

💬 Prime Minister

@DonaldTusk in #SejmRP : Shooting down drones threatening our security is a success for the Polish and NATO forces, which also changes the political situation. Therefore, the Allied consultations have taken the form of a formal request to activate Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty.

NATO War Time Protocol

Poland invoked NATO's Article 4 on September 10, 2025, following a significant Russian drone incursion into its airspace during an attack on Ukraine, marking the first time a NATO member engaged in direct combat against Russia in the war. This event triggered urgent security consultations among all 32 NATO member states, signaling a major escalation in the conflict.

While Article 4 is a diplomatic mechanism for consultation and does not automatically lead to military action, the incident has brought the alliance dangerously close to a direct confrontation with Russia, with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stating the country was closer to open conflict than at any time since World War II.

Article 4 Invocation: Poland formally requested consultations under Article 4 after 19 Russian drones breached its airspace during a strike on western Ukraine. This is the eighth time Article 4 has been invoked since NATO's founding, and the first since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Nature of the Incident: The drone incursion prompted Polish and NATO air defenses to intercept and neutralize the threats, resulting in a direct kinetic exchange between NATO forces and Russian drones. This defensive action marks the first instance of a NATO member engaging in combat against Russia in the Ukraine war.

Current Status and Risks: The consultations, held at NATO headquarters in Brussels, were described as consequential and serious, with member states denouncing Russia's "reckless behaviour".

While no member has suggested triggering Article 5 (collective defense), the event has significantly heightened tensions, with experts warning of the potential for a spillover that could draw NATO into a direct war with Russia.

he situation remains fluid, with NATO forces from the UK and US already present in Poland and prepared to reinforce its eastern flank.

Nawrocki signed a resolution allowing the presence of foreign troops in Poland

Polish President Karol Nawrocki signed a resolution agreeing to the presence of NATO troops on the territory of the country.

This was reported to the National Security Bureau.

Foreign soldiers will be stationed in Poland as part of NATO’s military operation Eastern Guard. They will serve as reinforcements for Polish troops.

It is separately noted that Navrotsky’s resolution is confidential.

As a reminder, on the night of September 9-10, the situation in Eastern Europe escalated again – Russia launched a massive strike on the territory of Ukraine, while a number of enemy drones crossed the air border of Poland. This forced Warsaw to activate air defense forces and engage aviation.

It should be noted that 19 Russian drones violated Polish airspace . Polish air defense forces were able to eliminate only four of them. It should be added that later, in addition to the seven drones, a missile fragment was also found on Polish territory.

By the way, on the morning of September 10, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk initiated an urgent government meeting due to an incident involving the violation of the country’s airspace by Russian drones.

Earlier, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced the alliance’s launch of Operation Eastern Sentinel in response to Russian drone violations of Polish airspace. The following day, Poland announced the start of a military operation.
