Zelenskyy offers Poland drone defence support

Following 19 Russian-made drones thrusting Poland's airspace into uncertainty, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is said to have provided Poland with options of assistance, training, and expertise to take down the Russians and - the 'Shaheds' - the type of drone that the Russians use. In a post on X, Zelenskyy said he had contact with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk to discuss the overnight incursions and future potential military level cooperation.

"I offered Poland our assistance, our training, and our expertise in shooting down Russian drones, especially 'Shahids,' and we agreed to future cooperation," Zelenskyy posted, adding that they both acknowledged the drone incursions as "a totally different level of escalation from Russia," and that an appropriate response was needed.

The Ukrainian President called on European countries to jointly develop an air defence system, and that Ukraine has actionable ideas on how they could do that successfully.

Poland's Diplomatic Efforts
Tusk commented that he has talked about the incidents with important leaders in Europe, asking for support in strengthening Poland's air defence. In his post on X, Tusk said he held talks with Emmanuel Macron, French President, Keir Starmer, UK Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, Italian Prime Minister, Friedrich Merz, German opposition leader, Dick Schoof, Dutch Prime Minister, Jens Stoltenberg, NATO Secretary General, and Zelenskyy.

Tusk reported that he received more than merely expressions of solidarity in respect to his requests for safeguarding Polish air defence and concrete proposals regarding support for strengthening Poland's air defence systems.

    The Strait of Hormuz has become one of the world's most tense flashpoints, and now the United States is stepping directly into the middle of it. President Donald Trump announced that America would begin escorting stranded commercial vessels safely out of the Gulf waterway — a move that comes as hundreds of ships and roughly 20,000 seafarers remain stuck, some running dangerously low on food and basic supplies. Almost immediately after that announcement, a tanker in the strait reported being struck by unknown projectiles, raising the stakes even further.

    Experts Warn Putin Is Using Ceasefire Talk to Stall, Not Settle

    As diplomatic chatter around a potential Ukraine ceasefire grows louder, at least one prominent security analyst is urging Washington to keep its guard up. Ivana Stradner, a research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a specialist in Russian security strategy and information operations, believes Vladimir Putin is not genuinely pursuing peace. Instead, she argues, the Russian president is leveraging ceasefire language to buy time on the battlefield while simultaneously positioning himself as an indispensable global power broker — on Ukraine and beyond.
