Poland warns of risk of Russian incursions on NATO's eastern flank

Jun 29, 2026

Warsaw [Poland], June 29: Poland's leadership sees a growing risk of Russian provocations along NATO's eastern flank, the nation's spy chief said.
"We are seeing developments in Ukraine and that the war is not going well for Russia at the moment. This is a cause for concern that Moscow could further escalate the situation," Colonel Pawel Szota, head of Poland's foreign intelligence service, told the newspaper Rzeczpospolita in comments published over the weekend.
He said a limited attack on the Baltic states could take the form of so-called "little green men" - a reference to Russian soldiers without insignia who seized control of the Ukrainian Crimea peninsula in 2014. "Russia is systematically crossing red lines to test NATO's response," Szota said. "The costs of such provocations are low, while the alliance responds mainly with political measures, which invites further escalation."
