Netherlands Summons Russian Ambassador to Protest Drone Incursion into Polish Airspace

On the 11th local time, Dutch Foreign Minister Hanke Bruins Slot summoned the Russian Ambassador to the Netherlands, stating that the Netherlands "cannot accept, for any reason," the large-scale incursion of drones into Polish airspace on the night of the 9th. Bruins Slot expressed the Netherlands' protest over the incident and did not rule out the possibility of imposing further sanctions on Russia.

On the night of the 9th local time, a large number of drones entered Polish airspace, prompting the Polish military to take emergency measures and shoot down some of the drones. Poland and NATO claimed the drones originated from Russia and invoked Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty to initiate emergency consultations.

The "drone incident" in Polish airspace has raised concerns about the spillover of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Western舆论称 Russia intended to test NATO's defensive capabilities and amplify internal divisions within NATO. Russia denied that the drones were of Russian origin, stating that the incident once again demonstrated NATO's deliberate anti-Russia stance, and accused relevant countries of attempting to obstruct Russia-Ukraine ceasefire negotiations.
