We, the foreign ministers of Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine – the Lublin Triangle – strongly condemn the recent incursion of Russian drones into Polish territory. This was a deliberate and coordinated attack, representing an unprecedented provocation and escalation of tensions
According to high-ranking officials, Russia's actions and Belarus's permission to use its airspace pose a direct threat to the security of the entire region. And only coordinated joint actions can ensure the protection of citizens.
We emphasize the need for better coordination and operational cooperation of our respective structures responsible for air safety. Such coordinated actions should be aimed at preventing the negative consequences of Russia's outrageous actions and lead to an increase in the effectiveness of our air defense measures
In particular, they called on partners to urgently strengthen Ukraine's air defense and support Lithuania and Poland in their efforts to ensure the security of NATO's and the EU's eastern flank.
Only an adequate and decisive response will prevent further escalation. We note that this incident also caused a surge of Russian disinformation. We call on all our societies to remain vigilant and be aware of malicious disinformation attempts by Russia
Together, Lithuania, Poland, and Ukraine confirm that unity, strength, and cooperation – including with our allies and partners in NATO and the EU – are the only ways to effectively counter Russian aggression and guarantee the security of our citizens.
