Poland said the UN security council would hold an emergency meeting over an incursion into the country by Russian drones on Wednesday as allies disputed whether it was a deliberate attack on Poland by Russia and Donald Trump offered little in the way of public support.
Poland’s foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski, told local radio Poland planned to use the security council meeting to “draw the world’s attention to this unprecedented Russian drone attack on a member of the UN, EU and Nato”.
He added that Polish authorities had no doubt the act was deliberate. “Nineteen violations of our airspace, several dozen drones identified, a few shot down, the action lasting seven hours, the whole night – so we cannot say it was an accident,” he said.
