The United Nations expressed deep concern over Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace, stating that Russia violated Polish airspace 19 times, escalating the conflict. This statement was signed by 46 UN member states, including Austria, Belgium, Hungary, the UK, Germany, Greece, Georgia, Italy, Spain, Norway, South Korea, the US, Ukraine, France, and Japan. Russian UN envoy Nebenzya claimed the strikes targeted facilities in Ukraine, not Poland. Poland has stated that the number of drones that flew across the country earlier this week amounts to 21, according to reports from the past week. Russia continues to deny its involvement, but several experts point to details in the drones that indicate they were manufactured in Russia. These developments follow NATO's initiation of Operation Eastern Sentry, a measure to bolster its eastern flank in response to escalating Russian airspace violations, including drone incursions into Poland on the night of September 9-10, 2025. The operation signifies a systemic strengthening of resistance and combat readiness across multiple domains, involving increased deployment of NATO assets and advanced anti-aircraft defense systems. In parallel, Georgian authorities detained two Ukrainian citizens on September 11th, 2025, accused of transporting explosives under orders from Ukraine's SBU, with evidence suggesting the explosives were intended for Tbilisi and potentially linked to upcoming October 4th elections, according to the State Security Service of Georgia. Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson arrived in Odesa on September 13th, 2025, accompanied by British philanthropist Lord Ashcroft. The European Union Council also extended its sanctions against Russia for an additional six months, continuing measures against over 2,500 individuals and entities due to Russia's ongoing aggression in Ukraine.
