Russia could be preparing a limited military incursion into Poland to test Nato's willingness to respond, according to claims reported by the Daily Mail, citing Polish media and sources close to Poland's leadership. The reported scenario would involve a small-scale provocation rather than a full-scale invasion, with the aim of undermining Western support for Ukraine and exposing divisions within the alliance.
