    Russia expected to intensify hybrid war on Europe (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Just a few months ago, Russia's war was an distant reality for many people in Europe outside of Ukraine. If Russian drones occasionally entered the airspace of countries like Poland or Romania, even official statements seemed strangely dismissive and abstract. Even after a Russian drone struck a high-rise apartment building in the eastern Romanian city of Galati in late May this year, many EU and NATO representatives hesitated to accuse Russia of intentional action. At most, there was discussion

Home to just 120 residents and situated about 160 kilometers (99 miles) northwest of the capital, Warsaw, the previously little-known village of Konotopie has been in the headlines for weeks as a result of the massive statue.

    Poland: Prime Minister Tusk defies anti-Ukrainian violence (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The Polish leader didn't mince his words. "We must wage a resolute fight against this violence, because thugs, hooligans, and this culture of violence are becoming increasingly brazen and insolent — and also because they have received political support," Donald Tusk said on Tuesday, before a Polish cabinet meeting in Warsaw.
