Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has warned that Russia could stage a false-flag incident on its own territory as a pretext for escalating military actions against European states, arguing that recent Kremlin messaging points to deliberate information preparation for such a scenario. In remarks shared on X, Sikorski suggested that Moscow might simulate an attack under a foreign flag inside Russia and then present it as justification for retaliation.

He compared it to the 1939 Gleiwitz incident, when Nazi Germany staged a fake Polish attack to justify launching World War II.
