Poland Alerts Allies as Russia Plans Strikes on NATO Territory

Poland has placed its forces on alert after intelligence indicated that Russia is planning hybrid strikes against Ukraine's allies, including NATO members. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the warnings point to 'accidental' attacks designed to avoid direct attribution. The alerts come as Russia continues its ballistic missile and drone campaign against Ukraine, including strikes on Odesa port and the use of adapted training missiles. The EU has responded by pledging 25 billion Danish kroner for missiles and drones for Ukraine. The ISW's September 17 assessment and reports of high-speed drone waves underscore how Russia is rewriting the rules of modern warfare.
