social network X<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSybiha noted that Russian drone flights into Poland during a massive attack on Ukraine show that Putin\u2019s sense of impunity continues to grow, as he has not been properly punished for his previous crimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPutin continues to escalate, expands the war, and tests the West\u2019s resolve. The longer he sees no strength in response, the more aggressive he becomes. A weak response now will provoke Russia even more \u2014 and then Russian missiles and drones will fly further into Europe,\u201d the minister wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He stressed the need to adopt a decision that would allow neighboring countries\u2019 air defense systems to intercept drones and missiles in Ukrainian airspace, including those approaching NATO borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUkraine has long proposed such a step. It must be taken for the sake of collective security,\u201d Sybiha emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also called on partners to urgently strengthen Ukraine\u2019s air defense to better defend against the growing number of Russian drones and missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn addition, sanctions must be strengthened without delay. Putin will take peace negotiations seriously only when he faces serious transatlantic pressure. Russia\u2019s war machine must be stopped \u2014 and it can only be stopped by strength, not weakness,\u201d Sybiha declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, in connection with the incursion of Russian drones into Polish territory, called on the West to adopt a decision on using neighboring countries\u2019 air defense means to shoot down targets while still over Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He wrote about this on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to him, the situation with Russian drones entering Poland highlights the need for a decision allowing neighboring countries\u2019 air defenses to intercept drones and missiles in Ukrainian airspace, including those nearing NATO borders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cUkraine has long proposed such a step. It must be taken for the sake of collective security,\u201d Sybiha emphasized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also called on partners to urgently strengthen Ukraine\u2019s air defense to better protect against the increasing number of Russian drones and missiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sybiha also stated that a weak response to this incident will provoke Russia even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As is known, on the night of September 10, Poland confirmed the violation of its airspace by Russian drones during a massive attack on Ukraine, and for the first time shot them down. The army warned citizens about heightened threats in the Mazovian, Podlaskie, and Lublin voivodeships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Later, the downing of several drones was confirmed, with explanations that such an unprecedented decision was made due to an act of aggression and a threat to citizens\u2019 safety. The number of drones shot down was not specified; official statements have so far avoided direct mention that these were Russian Shahed drones, limiting themselves to explaining that these objects entered Poland during Russia\u2019s massive strike on Ukraine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk informed NATO about the unprecedented violation of the country\u2019s airspace by Russian drones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In connection with these events, operations were suspended at four airports, including Warsaw and Rzesz\u00f3w.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
