The Ukrainian World Congress called on NATO to respond decisively to the Kremlin’s provocations, calling the violation of Poland’s borders an act of aggression against all of Europe.
This was reported by the UWC press service.
The Russian drones that crossed Polish airspace were yet another example of Moscow’s brazen and systematic violation of international law. The UWC stressed that this was not an accident, but a deliberate provocation aimed at destabilizing and testing NATO’s resolve.
“Russia has established itself as an aggressive, rogue state. This is an undeniable fact, and the time for hesitation is over. The UWC calls on NATO and the international community to respond swiftly and decisively,” the statement said.
In particular, the organization called on the Alliance to take concrete measures: publicly condemn the incident and demand accountability from Moscow, strengthen air defense coordination in Eastern Europe, introduce new sanctions against the Kremlin’s military machine, and reaffirm readiness for collective defense under NATO’s Article 5.
“Every violation has its price. Russia’s continued aggression must lead to sanctions, diplomatic isolation, and the freezing of assets associated with the Kremlin’s military machine,” the UWC added.
UWC President Pavlo Grod emphasized that the drone incursion is a test of the strength of the international community:
“The incursion of Russian drones into NATO territory is not just a provocation, it is a test of our collective will. Every time we hesitate, Moscow becomes bolder. The international community must respond with force, unity, and speed.”
The UWC expressed solidarity with Poland and stressed that inaction could lead to a new escalation, jeopardizing the security of other NATO members.
