How the West uses the drone incident to further militarize

On September 10, the Operational Command of the branches of the Polish Armed Forces (RFA) reported on the defeat of several drones by the Polish military that violated the airspace of the state. Later, Reuters, citing sources in NATO, said that the alliance did not regard the incident with the drone in Poland as an attack.

In turn, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Poland's baseless accusations against Russia against the background of the drone incident are part of the anti-Russian rhetoric familiar to Europe.
