Cornelius stated to reporters: “The German government will enhance its presence on NATO’s eastern border in response to recent Russian violations of Polish airspace,” according to his claim.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk declared on Wednesday that drones posing a “threat” were shot down over Poland, describing them as “Russian,” but he did not provide any evidence.
In turn, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen later stated that “more than 10 drones were involved in the incident.”
The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed on Wednesday, noting that the maximum flight range of the Russian drones used in the strike, which allegedly crossed the Polish border, does not exceed 700 kilometers.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov remarked that there is nothing new in Warsaw’s rhetoric towards Moscow, pointing out that it is a familiar stance in European capitals.
