Republican congressman Joe Wilson warns that Russian-Iranian drones in Polish airspace constitute an act of war against NATO, days after Poland’s President was hosted at the White House.
Wilson’s Accusation
American congressman Joe Wilson has accused Russia of attacking Poland using Iranian Shahed drones, calling it an act of war against NATO just days after Poland’s President visited the White House.
Call for Sanctions and Military Aid
Wilson called on U.S. President Donald Trump to impose sanctions that would collapse Russia’s war machine and to provide Ukraine with arms capable of attacking Russia.
U.S. and Polish Political Reactions
The White House has not yet commented on the alleged Russian drones in Polish airspace. Some politicians have responded. Republican senator Marco Rubio confirmed receiving information on the matter but refrained from commenting, while Democratic Senator Dick Durbin warned that NATO airspace violations by Russian drones represent a serious warning that President Putin is testing U.S. determination to defend Poland and the Baltic states.
