Polish PM convenes emergency Government meeting after attack near border

RTP Notícias14 September 2026 at 04:30

The Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk, convened an emergency meeting of the Government Security Council in response to today's Russian attack on Ukrainian territory very close to the border with Poland.

The attack in question was carried out by Russia against Ukrainian territory that is in the vicinity of the border with Poland, a NATO member.

This emergency meeting comes in a context of escalating tensions in the region, with Poland closely monitoring the situation due to its geographical proximity to the area affected by the attack.

The Polish authorities are assessing the security situation and the potential implications for the country, which shares a direct border with Ukraine.

Why this matters

Poland, as a NATO member country and neighbour of Ukraine, faces a direct threat to its security with Russian attacks so close to its border. This emergency meeting indicates that the Polish authorities are assessing protection measures and coordinating a response to the incident, which may directly affect the lives of Polish citizens in the border region.
