Report: Russia may attack in Poland to undermine NATO

The United States has sent warnings to Poland that Russia is preparing to carry out an armed attack on the country’s territory as part of a provocation designed to test the determination and cohesion of the NATO alliance – the Polish news site Onet reported today (Friday).

According to the report, Washington conveyed several warnings to Warsaw regarding the Russian plan. Sources close to the President of Poland, Karol Nabrotsky, told the website that several possible scenarios came up as part of the assessments, including missile or drone attacks against critical infrastructure in Poland, or the infiltration of Russian soldiers across the border into the territory of the country, a member of NATO.

According to the report, the purpose of the Russian provocation is to escalate the tensions in the region and to test the reaction of the allied countries. It is also claimed that Moscow seeks to get Ukraine’s allies in the West to stop aid to Kiev. According to the estimates cited in the report, if it does come to fruition, the Russian provocation may take place within a few months.
