Ukraine-Russia war latest: Putin ‘knocking on Nato’s door’ with drone strike on passenger train near Polish border
Ukraine’s foreign minister warned on Sunday that Vladimir Putin was “knocking on Nato’s door” after a Russian drone struck a passenger train just two kilometres from the Polish border.
A drone hit the engine carriage of a train near the Yahodyn crossing point earlier on Sunday. The vehicle had already been evacuated after Ukraine learned of the incoming strike, and nobody was injured.
“Russia’s barbaric strikes at the Ukraine-Poland border in Yahodyn are not just a continuation of its attacks on our state borders,” foreign minister Andrii Sybiha wrote on social media.
“This is Putin’s terror “knocking” directly on the doors of the EU and NATO. Russian barbarians are at your gate, dear partners.”
The strike occurred as Russia launched its biggest drone barrage on Ukraine in months. Ukraine’s air force tallied 450 drones launched overnight, including jet-propelled drones and Banderol missile drones.
Asked about the war during his visit to Ireland, however, US president Donald Trump only urged Ukraine to stop hitting Russian diesel refineries, which is contributing to higher prices for American farmers.
