The United States has warned Warsaw that Russia is planning armed provocation in the coming months against NATO’s Eastern Front, possibly involving both Belarusian and Russian troops crossing into Polish territory, or drone and missile strikes against vital infrastructure in Poland, in an attempt to test NATO’s “resolve” in regards to support for Ukraine and defending Eastern Europe. Sources affiliated with Poland’s Security Service have stated that a “hybrid attack in the border region” could take place, which Moscow may call an accident or a response to “hostilities” by NATO. The Polish media outlet Onet has said that the aim of Moscow’s possible assault, which could be launched in a matter of months, would be to provoke tensions with Europe, with hopes that the U.S. would not fire on Russian troops and force negotiations on Ukraine from NATO and Poland.
