Poland has rejected claims that an incursion into its airspace by Russian drones might have been accidental with a Polish Defence minister saying "there can be no mistake with such a large-scale attack on Poland".
"I think this is a message that should reach President Trump today: there's no question of a mistake - this was a deliberate Russian attack," deputy defence minister Cezary Tomczyk told local TV broadcaster Polsat News.
U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday had said that Russia's drone incursion into Poland could have been a mistake.
"I’m not happy about anything to do with the whole situation, but hopefully that’s going to come to an end," Trump told reporters before boarding Marine One.
Early on Wednesday, Poland shot down drones in its airspace with the backing of military aircraft from its NATO allies, the first time a member of the Western military alliance is known to have fired shots during Russia's war in Ukraine.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski, who is visiting Kyiv on Friday (12 September), also responded to Trump's words.
"On the night that 19 Russian drones crossed into Poland, 400 (drones) plus 40 missiles crossed into Ukraine. These were not mistakes," he said in a video posted on X.
At Poland's request, the United Nations Security Council will meet in New York on Friday. The meeting will begin at 1500 local time, Polish foreign affairs ministry said.
The United Kingdom, a member country of the Nato alliance has imposed new sanctions on Russia in response to the incursions in Polish airspace with the European Union expected to follow suit.
