On 12-13 September, a Russian operation of the Unmanned strategy Forces for purposes located in Western Ukraine reached almost the borders of Poland. What does that mean for us?
In the face of full emotions and as usual many misconceptions in media relations over the last 24 hours, let us organize cognition and facts about events in Ukraine in the area neighbouring Poland.
- Since the morning of 12 September, the Russian side has led attacks on targets in Western Ukraine by the Unmanned strategy Forces, utilizing cloudy and foggy weather. The Ukrainian monitoring channels kept presenting the situation in the air, published infographics with the location of Russian drones, which I besides showed you yesterday.
- Russian Unmanned Systems Army commanded by General Denisa Lamina, utilized about 750 drones in the attack including classical Geranja-2, armed Gerbera, and jet Geranja-4 and Geranja-5.
- The mark of the attacks was a number of objects. Russian BSP besides attacked railway infrastructure including our old Kresach (locomotivation plant in Sarny, locomotive station in Tarnopol, station in Łuck).
- The drones were attacked by truck parking at the border crossing with the Polish “Jagodin” (Lwowski Oblast).
- In/g of part of the coverage from the border areas of Poland, there were jet drones of Geranja flying over Ukraine close the border.
- The Russians were to hit the locomotive, the previously evacuated train of Kiev-Warsaw relations
Train passenger relation Prof. Katarzyna Pisarska “ We were very fortunate to have reached the station just before the attack, so we could get out, cross the crossing, and drive away. erstwhile the Kiev-Warsaw relation train was behind us, the strike took place, but this lineup was besides evacuated,” adds the expert.”
... "The carriages of this train included safety advisers to the Prime Minister of large Britain, the Chancellor of Germany, the Prime Minister of Italy and the president of France, many parliamentarians, experts and representatives of the Ministry of abroad Affairs and Defence of respective European states. There were besides erstwhile presidents and prime ministers. Next Carla Bildt She came with us, for example, the erstwhile Prime Minister of Finland Sanna Marin “ says the professor. She added that the erstwhile Prime Minister of large Britain was besides in her carriage Boris JohnsonIt’s okay. ”
The Ukrainian communicative of a conscious Russian attack on a train full of European politicians, as you can see, cannot withstand confrontation with facts.
- The Russian drone besides hit a railway siding on the Ukrainian side, hitting a freight train locomotive that carried empty tankers. This event took place on Sunday morning (13 September 2026) around 8:27 in the Volyn region, about 2 kilometres from the border with Poland (in the area of the Dorohusk–Jawów crossing). Details of this attack were reported by Chief Border Guard, General Dyw. SG Robert Bagan.
In conclusion, during the 5th year of the war on Ukraine, the Russian Unmanned Systems Army, conducting planned operations aimed at the Ukrainian railway, attacked targets in Western Ukraine along this Polish border.
Probably the Russian side to avoid incidents with NATO informed about the planned operation in the border. I will remind you, 2 days ago, Polish media reported: "CIA manager John Ratcliffe gave Prime Minister Donald Tusk a study on possible events in the coming months in our region".
On September 10, we read: “One of the border crossings was avoided at night. As you know, Russia has already decided to launch provocative attacks on border crossings in another countries," said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the V4 and Ireland Premier Conference."
As of 10 September, the restrictions on air traffic in the east of the country began to apply. The details were reported by the Operations Command of Types of Armed Forces.
Just before the events on September 12 we had messages that Polish aviation was directed to prevent the border.
All this indicates that the Russian side is trying to block Ukrainian rail transport, which is utilized in times of war – obviously, besides for military purposes. The Russians are attempting to disrupt the transport of war materials carried by rail supplied from NATO countries as part of military aid.
It is no secret that Poland is simply a supply hub headed by Jasionka Airport close Rzeszów, and it is through Poland and Romania that arms and another aid to Ukraine flow.
In the event of continued Russian attacks on the border there is an increased hazard of entry of armed Russian drones, including jet-powered drones in the territory of Poland, and there is simply a likelihood that there may be a tragedy, as in Przewowa on 15 November 2022, where the Ukrainian anti-aircraft rocket of the S-300 system, in which the self-destructor did not operate, accidentally fell in Poland and killed 2 Polish citizens. However, do not be hysterical, peculiar care should be taken in south-eastern Poland, following RCB alerts, do not underestimate the sound signals about the possible anti-aircraft alarm!
From myself, I will add a proposition not to behave recklessly, not to film, not to observe the unrecognized means of air raid that may appear in the Polish airspace and which may be combated by the Polish Air Force and anti-aircraft systems. Fragments of destroyed objects and air-to-air rockets, falling to the ground can harm unwise people trying to "record war video" with phones. Let peace and work guide us, during this hard period of escalation, unfortunate war in Ukraine.
