Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warns that Poland faces “critical months” ahead as it prepares for possible Russian actions. Citing media reports and briefings alleging Russian planning, Tusk says Poland is readying for “various” scenarios linked to the threat. The reports, echoed across multiple outlets in connection with US and other sources, describe potential efforts to test NATO’s resolve and to conduct a “provocation” in the region, including in or around Poland and the Baltic states.

Several accounts also frame the risk as part of a broader strategy to undermine European security and exploit ongoing tensions connected to the war in Ukraine. Poland’s own messaging focuses on potential sabotage and related operations, with warnings that Russia could seek to create destabilizing conditions. While the specific timing and nature of any alleged Russian plans are not confirmed in the provided reports, the overall message from the sources is that Polish authorities and partners are urging preparedness. Tusk’s comments reflect an emphasis on contingency planning and readiness for multiple possible developments.
