ItalyThe United States intelligence agencies have reportedly warned Poland and other Baltic countries about potential Russian military provocations aimed at testing NATO's response. According to reports by the Telegraph and Polish outlet Onet, citing sources close to President Karol Nawrocki, possible scenarios include drone and missile attacks on critical infrastructure, limited conventional military incursions involving Russian or Belarusian troops, simulated aerial attacks to trigger Poland’s air defenses, or hybrid attacks along the border. The primary goal of such actions would likely be to assess NATO’s reaction, intimidate European public opinion, and undermine solidarity with Ukraine rather than launch a full-scale invasion. Russia could use Kaliningrad or Belarus as bases for these operations. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has taken the warnings seriously, stating that the coming months could be critical, especially for the Baltic states.
