A dramatic warning issued to a European country: "Russia will attack you"

Polish President Karol Nawrocki told the outlet that Washington has repeatedly warned Warsaw about the alleged plot, which could be launched within just a few months. According to the report, Moscow’s aim would be to escalate tensions and pressure Western allies into halting aid to Ukraine.

“I think the United States are systematically informing Poland about new Russian plans for a conventional attack on NATO’s eastern flank, from which Poland is by no means excluded,” the Polish president said.

According to a Polish intelligence source, a “hybrid attack in a border region” would be the most extreme scenario, and an armed incursion involving Russian or Belarusian troops is also possible.

The attacks could also include drone strikes on critical infrastructure such as power plants, or simulated air attacks, which, according to the source, would force Poland to defend itself and activate its air defense systems.

Russia could present the attack as an accident caused by a GPS malfunction, which would lead troops to stray onto Polish territory, or as a rescue mission to recover a helicopter that experienced a malfunction.

Sources say Russia would assume that the United States would pressure Poland to negotiate with Russia or Belarus instead of using force and opening fire on soldiers.

They also noted that if Russian forces were to withdraw from Poland as a result of such negotiations, rather than being forced to do so, Moscow would consider it a victory.
