Trump Suggests Russia Sent Drones into Poland by "Mistake"
----------------------------------------------------------

President Trump is calling Russia's drone incursion into Poland "a
mistake," while NATO members are calling it a deliberate provocation.
France's President Emmanuel Macron said, "We will not yield to Russia's
growing intimidation." Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz called
Russia's actions a "serious threat to Europe." This is Polish Prime
Minister Donald Tusk.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk: "We don't think Russia is behind this
provocation - we know it. I hope that none of our allies will pretend
that nothing happened, because it did happen."

Several NATO members, including the Netherlands, the Czech Republic,
Germany and France, are sending troops, artillery and air defense
systems to NATO's eastern flank.
