Poland says it shot down Russian drones that violated its airspace

Poland said a number of Russian drones entered its airspace during an attack on Ukraine early Wednesday and were shot down with the help of NATO allies, a first since Moscow's full -scale invasion of its neighbor.

Leaders across Europe condemned the incident as the latest sign of escalation from the Kremlin, which has rebuffed President Donald



Trump's bid to broker peace talks.

Russia labeled the accusations “groundless."

"Russia is absolutely not interested in any escalation with Poland," and "no evidence" had been presented that the drones were of Russian origin, Andrei Ordash, Moscow’s charge d’affaires in the Polish capital Warsaw, told state news agency.
