The Kremlin has warned that if Poland were to enter a conflict with Russia, the Polish capital, Warsaw, would be "destroyed" within two to three days. This statement came from Nikolai Patrushev, a senior advisor to Russian President Vladimir Putin, who made the remarks during an interview with the Russian newspaper Argumenty i Fakty. Patrushev emphasized that Russia would use its full military capabilities if Poland took part in a war involving NATO, stating that Warsaw would "cease to exist" under such circumstances. The comments were made in response to statements by Poland’s foreign minister, Radosław Sikorski, who suggested that NATO could "quite quickly" defeat Russia in the event of an attack. Speaking at the Yalta European Strategy conference in Kyiv, Sikorski highlighted NATO’s airpower superiority, noting that the alliance has access to over 2,500 military aircraft. He argued that this overwhelming advantage would allow NATO to respond swiftly and effectively to any Russian aggression. The Russian government has dismissed Sikorski’s remarks as an "amateurish assessment" of Russia’s military strength. Patrushev noted that Russia has not yet used its full potential in its ongoing war with Ukraine and reiterated that Putin has no intention of starting a war with Europe. However, recent incidents involving drones have raised concerns among NATO members about Russian activities in the region. Several NATO countries, including Germany, Denmark, the UK, and Poland, have accused Russia of using drones for sabotage, surveillance, and other hostile actions. In August, a drone carrying explosives and an unknown substance was discovered near a Ukrainian cargo plane in Leipzig, Germany. Recently, Denmark confirmed that one of its helicopters was targeted with flares while conducting surveillance of a Russian frigate in the Baltic Sea. In Lithuania, a NATO fighter jet was deployed to intercept a drone in the country’s airspace, though the drone’s origin remains unclear. These incidents have heightened tensions and underscore the growing concerns over Russian military activity near NATO territory.
