Prime Minister Donald Tusk has assured the public that Poland is prepared for any potential provocations related to the Zapad 2025 military exercises.
While there is no indication that Zapad 2025 serves as cover for an attack on NATO territory, Russian provocations during the exercises cannot be ruled out. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has assured that Poland is prepared for any potential provocations.
