Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said Poland is preparing “very intensively” for a range of possible security scenarios after reports that the United States had warned Warsaw of the risk of an “armed Russian provocation” on Polish soil. Polish outlet Onet reported, citing several sources, that the US had repeatedly warned Polish officials about possible Russian plans for a conventional attack on NATO’s eastern flank – an attack from which Poland was “absolutely not excluded.” JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. Sources told Onet that, according to US intelligence, the threat could involve a limited Russian or Belarusian ground incursion and could emerge within months. Polish intelligence sources separately told Onet that possible scenarios could also include drone strikes on critical infrastructure or “simulated air attacks” designed to force Poland to activate its air defenses. ‘Let’s not be afraid’ Commenting on the reports, Tusk said on Friday that Warsaw was preparing for several possible scenarios but did not want to spread panic. “Poland is preparing very intensively for various scenarios. I don’t intend to frighten anyone, but the coming months, also because of the changing nature of the war in Ukraine, could be truly critical – particularly for the Baltic states,” the prime minister said. “These concerns are real. Let’s not be afraid. We are preparing for various situations, but we cannot underestimate them.”
