Poland warns Europe of ‘deep’ Russian threat

Zelensky criticises allies over 'zero real reaction' to Russian strikes
  • Poland's Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski has warned of Russia's capability to strike “deep into Europe” and urged leaders to build a drone wall on the continent's eastern flank.
  • Sikorski called for Western nations to commit to supporting Ukraine for at least three more years and expressed hope that US President Donald Trump would provide Tomahawk missiles.
  • Trump has suggested he might make long-range Tomahawk missiles available to Ukraine, which would enable strikes up to 1,000 miles into Russia.
  • The plea comes amid reports of a 43 per cent fall in military aid to Ukraine since early 2025, with NATO defence ministers meeting to discuss further support.
  • NATO chief Mark Rutte confirmed efforts to establish a drone wall, and the UK extended its air patrols over Poland while increasing drone production for Ukraine.
