  1. > Poland, together with allied countries, scrambled military aircraft overnight on May 25 in response to Russia’s combined attack on Ukraine. Additionally, ground-based air defense systems and radar reconnaissance units were put on high alert, according to the Twitter (X) account of the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces.

    > The statement from the Polish military department says that due to the attack by Russia, which is striking targets located on the territory of Ukraine, Polish and allied aviation have begun operations in our airspace.

    >The Polish side notes that these actions are carried out in accordance with established procedures.

    >The Polish Operational Command added that the operational commander deployed all available forces and resources at his disposal, with fighter jet pairs scrambled into the air, and ground-based air defense systems and radar reconnaissance reaching the highest state of readiness.

  2. Trump has clearly given Russia new confidence knowing that the US won’t do anything and are probably going to reduce help to Ukraine. Europe are still dragging their heels and have admitted they can’t really do much without the US. And UK’s ‘Coalition of the Willing’ has achieved very little, if anything, and will likely slowly disband and be forgotten.

    I’m so ashamed to be British. We’re giving Ukraine minimal help at their time of greatest need.

    Oh, and fuck Trump.

  3. Edited: Sarcasm!

    Given the unrest Ukraine is causing by not surrendering in this not-a-war to Russia. Maybe Poland should create a 50-100km buffer zone in Ukrainian airspace to control the flights and protect its own air. Of course, this is nothing against Russia is to make sure that the Polish air defense will capture all lost Ukrainian missiles before they hit Poland

  4. Useless posturing and a waste of resources. Maybe try putting these air assets to use or something.

  5. why they did it??? several times russians missiles were on theirs territory and they did nothing. blind position. shame.

  10. It’s cool. It’s your own fault. Every day 100 drones are shot down over Russia. For May 8. Russia will win 100%

  11. EU has to at least protect its own airspace. Russians violate your airspace not once, particularly in Baltic. This looks like an impotence!

  12. Fact is that Europe/Nato is not ready for a war with Russia at the moment. Europe needs time. To get enough equipment, for countries to work together, to prepare it’s civilians. We haven’t done enough the past 25 years. And now we all see the priority.

    And in the meantime we can only look at what’s happening to Ukraine. I wish we could do more right now. But i don’t think we can.

    We have to do something in the near in the future though, there is no other way. When we are ready we have to take action. For the future of Ukraine and Europe.
