Ukraine-Russia war latest: Trump says ‘here we go’ in reaction to Russia violating Polish airspace
Donald Trump has reacted after Russian drones entered Polish air space in an unprecedented incursion into Nato territory.
Taking to Truth Social, the US president said: “What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones? Here we go!”
Polish air defences and Nato aircraft sprung into action overnight after 19 objects intruded Polish airspace including drones entering from Belarus, said prime minister Donald Tusk. There have been no injury reports and Moscow has so far denied responsibility for the incident.
Poland’s president Karol Nawrocki spoke to Trump among other Nato allies in talks that “confirmed unity,” he said. As European and Nato countries rally to Poland’s defence, the US has vowed that it will help defend Nato territory following the incursion.
The US would defend “every inch of Nato territory”, Washington’s ambassador to Nato Matthew Whitaker said.
Prime minister Donald Tusk activated Article 4 of the Nato treaty, demanding discussion with its member states, as he said Poland was closer to conflict than it had ever been since the Second World War.
