Trump responds to Russian incursion on NATO airspace with bemusement 
WASHINGTON —US President Donald Trump reacted Wednesday with a degree of bemusement toward Russia’s drone incursion into Poland, a NATO member that Trump has previously vowed to defend amid heightened tensions with Moscow.“What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones?” Trump asked in a short post on Truth Social. “Here we go!”The brief mention of the incident — and the vague suggestion of continued fallout — came as US officials were digesting the overnight events, when more than a dozen Russian drones entered Polish airspace, spurring a response from NATO to scramble fighter jets to shoot them down.The incident amounted to a striking escalation of Russia’s conflict in neighboring Ukraine, which Trump has sought unsuccessfully to end.

The violation of Poland’s territorial integrity is unacceptable," Orbán wrote in a post on X."The incident proves that our policy of calling for peace in the Russia-Ukraine war is reasonable and rational.
