Attention
Because of the following events in my country I will say a few words to calm down some people and stop people from spreading false information.
1. Our airspace was invavded by Russian drones, not Ukrainian. We already confirmed it. It is the first time Russian drones entered our borders. Previously those were Ukrainian misles. What is more concerning that those drones came from Belarus, not Ukraine. And from the neswest information some of those drones were not weaponized (provocation).
2. The drones were shot down pretty quickly by our defense systems. All the demage you see was caused by the remains of those drones hitting the ground.
3. WE WERE NOT OFFICALLY ATTACKED. AND THAT WAS NOT A WAR DECLARATION. What's more that's probably a simple provocation to trick us into joining the war.
4. Fun fact, Russia asked our president a long time ago to attack Ukraine from the east. They want us in that war. And we know very well, if they were to win it, they would target us next.
5. This is the first time Russia is provoking us, but it's the first time they invaded our airspace like that. Before that there were only cyber attacks and loud words.
6. Belarus and us already have a slighly strained relationship. From what I know and feel like personaly, I do not see Belarusians as enemies. Their goverment is ruled by Russia. That's the problem. Probably most of Belarusians do not want war and do not want to attack us. And we were close to a war with them back in 2021. And that was also a provocation from Russia.
7. WE CALLED ON NATO ART 4. We called for a meeting with NATO countries to disscus the possiblity for the future attacks and to strengthen the defense as well as THE FUTURE POSSIBLE USAGE OF THE ARTICLE 5 AS THIS IS A DIRECT THREAT TO OUR COUNTRY AND IT'S SAFTEY. We did not declare a war.
8. There are rumors that we are preparing for a war. We are. Since February 2022 when the OFFICIAL war has started we are prepering in case we will be forced to defend ourselves. And since 2014 when the conflict has started we've been cutting ties with Russia in every way you can think of. It's nothing new.
9. All of that information clearly points towards Russia wanting us to start a war, which we hopefully won't (I hope the heads of my country aren't that dumb to fall for this). They want a world war, and that's why we shouldn't give it to them. And us Poles, we do not want to go to war, be involved in battles or to start one (funny considering how many wars we've been involved in). Either way most of us just blinked and went to continue with our lives cause we know it's Putin playing with us. If they attack us directly, we will defend. If they won't, we most likely won't step in.
That is what the recent events look like from the perspective of someone from Poland who got an RCB allert when she was drinking her coffee. Please read this,don't panick and don't spread false information. Thank you.
