German Chancellor On 'attack' Drone: Russia's Sabotage Trend Is Licircly Disrupting Stability

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called the violation of Polish and Romanian airspace by Russia part of a long-running trend of border testing and sabotage by President Vladimir Putin.

"Russia wants to cunningly disrupt the stability of our free society," Merz told the lower house of the Bundestag parliament, stressing the peace agreement in Ukraine's war cannot sacrifice Kyiv's political sovereignty and territorial integrity.

"Unforced peace, peace without freedom, will prompt Putin to look for his next target," Merz added.

Earlier, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the country's "drone" drone was not Russia's fault, even though US President Donald Trump stated the incident could have been accidental.

Tusk was previously angry with the drone attack that crossed his airspace.

"We also hope that the drone strike in Poland was a mistake. But it didn't and we know that," Tusk said in X.

Last week, Poland shot down a drone in its airspace with the support of military aircraft from its NATO allies.

This is the first time members of the Western military alliance have been known to have opened fire during the Russian war in Ukraine.

Previously, Polish Deputy Defense Minister Cezary Tomczyk also commented on Trump's statement.

"I think this is a message that should have reached President Trump today: nothing wrong, this is a deliberate Russian attack," he told local TV station Polsat News.
