Ukraine-Russia war live: Trump says ‘here we go’ in reaction to Russia violating Polish airspace – UK Times

The Nato response to Russian drones targeting Poland must go beyond diplomatic disapproval – and result in real action, writes Keir Giles. Failure to do so will encourage Putin to test the West’s resolve in yet more countries.

French President Emmanuel Macron on Wednesday said he spoke to U.S. President Donald Trump on a phone call and shared concerns about the situation in the Middle East in the aftermath of Israeli strikes in Qatar.

The two leaders also spoke about developments in Russia’s “war of aggression against Ukraine,” particularly following Russian drone incursions into Poland, Macron said in an X post.

“Close cooperation between Europeans and Americans is crucial on each of these fronts,” Macron said.

Polish president Karol Nawrocki has spoken to President Trump to “confirm allied unity” after Russia violated Polish airspace.

He said: “Just a moment ago, I spoke by phone with U.S. President Donald Trump regarding the repeated violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones, which occurred last night. The conversation is part of a series of consultations I am conducting with our allies. Today’s talks confirmed allied unity.”

“The violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones is rightly described as having brought the Eastern European country closer to conflict than at any time since the Second World War. There can be no substitute for collective security – with or without Donald Trump.”
