Russia's 'unprecedented violation' of Polish air space was branded an 'act of war' by a pro-Trump Congressman as Polish leaders planned an 'extraordinary meeting' to respond.
NATO leaders scrambled to immediately address the first military incident between the countries since the 2022 Ukraine invasion after Poland said it shot down military drones that 'repeatedly violated' its airspace.
'Moscow always pushes the boundaries of what is possible,' Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Wednesday. 'And if it does not encounter a strong reaction, it remains at the new level of escalation.'

Republican rep. Joe Wilson said Russia was 'attacking NATO ally Poland' with drones, calling it an 'act of war'.
'I urge President Trump to respond with mandatory sanctions that will bankrupt the Russian war machine and arm Ukraine with weapons capable of striking Russia,' he said.
Wilson added that the incursion meant that Putin was 'directly testing our resolve in NATO territory'.
'Free and prosperous nations will teach Russia about borders,' he said.
Democratic Senator Dick Durbin said the Russian aggression was a sign 'Putin is testing our resolve to protect Poland and the Baltic nations'.
'After the carnage Putin continues to visit on Ukraine, these incursions cannot be ignored,' Durbin wrote on X.
