Maybe the army which just conquered Ukraine’s #Kostjantyniwka?

September 9th 2025, Russia launched about 20 drones into Poland. This was a test, and the response from NATO was essentially nothing.

Russia will try to intensify the current Ukraine/Poland political tensions to their advantage. The point could be to have Poland shut the border to Ukraine, preventing or slowing deliveries. Slovakia, Hungary, Romania — at least 2 of those may happily do the same. Ukraine can be completely isolated and the Russians are absolutely aiming for this.

um how else would they make the population scared to allow passing of some draconian laws that Putin himself would be proud of & cut funding to pesky social programme to fund military instead with little push back & popular uprising?. Doing exactly this knowing very well Putin is just a paper bogeyman at this stage with only MAD nuclear option even which may not be in a state to actually leave a silo or submarine.
