Russian territorial gains have become less costly over the last four months compared to Spring 2025 as Russian forces are sustaining a lower casualty rate per square kilometer seized. Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief General Oleksandr Syrskyi reported on September 9 that Russian forces have suffered 299,210 casualties since January 2025.[1] ISW assesses that Russian forces gained a total of 1,910.39 square kilometers of territory in Ukraine in May, June, July, and August 2025, and the Ukrainian General Staff's daily Russian casualty reports indicate that Russian forces suffered 130,160 casualties in that same time frame, averaging to 68 casualties per square kilometer seized between May and August 2025. ISW assesses that Russian forces seized 499.28 square kilometers in May 2025; 465.8 square kilometers in June 2025; 445.88 square kilometers in July 2025; and 499.43 in August 2025. Ukrainian General Staff data indicates that Russian forces suffered 35,370 casualties in May 2025; 32,680 in June 2025; 33,230 in July 2025; and 28,880 in August 2025.[2] This means that Russian forces averaged roughly 71 casualties per square kilometer in May 2025; 70 casualties per square kilometer in June 2025; 75 casualties per square kilometer in July 2025; and 68 casualties per square kilometer in August 2025. Russian casualty rates per square kilometer gained have substantially decreased over the last four months compared to January through April 2025, when Russian forces were losing 99 casualties per square kilometer.[3]
Russian casualty rates per square kilometer peaked in the first four months of 2025 as Russian forces fought to maintain the intensified pace of offensive operations they began in the Fall of 2024. Russian forces lost an estimated average of 59 casualties per square kilometer gained during the first four months of their intensified 2024 offensive campaign (between September and December 2024).[4] Russian forces concentrated their offensive operations in western Donetsk Oblast and counteroffensive operations in Kursk Oblast in Fall 2024 and made tactically significant advances in the Kursk, Pokrovsk, Kurakhove (now Novopavlivka), and Velyka Novosilka (now Velykomykhailivka) areas.[5] Russian forces were still frequently using armored vehicles to advance during Fall 2024, whichlikely helped preserve some Russian lives.[6] Russian forces were mainly advancing in small infantry assaults during Fall 2024, as they were as of August 2025, but Russian forces largely abandoned use of armored vehicles in late 2024 and early Spring 2025, and this change in tactics likely contributed to increased Russian casualty rates in the first few months of 2025.
Russian advances began to slow during the first four months of 2025 as Russian casualties remained consistent, resulting in a higher Russian casualty rate between January and April 2025. Russian forces suffered an average of 99 casualties per square kilometer gained in January, February, March, and April 2025.[7] Russian advances significantly increased in March 2025 with the elimination of the Ukrainian salient in Kursk Oblast, which coincided with the temporary cessation of US intelligence sharing with Ukraine, although Russian advances on average decreased between January, February, and April 2025. Russian gains also slowed as Russian forces came up against better-defended Ukrainian positions in and around larger towns such as Kupyansk, Chasiv Yar, Toretsk, and Pokrovsk during Spring 2025. Russian gains slowed by 45 percent between January and April 2025 compared to gains between September and December 2024, although Russian casualty rates only decreased by 10 percent during those four months. Russian forces also began to more frequently use unarmored vehicles such as motorcycles and open-air buggies during this time, and therefore began to suffer a higher killed-in-action (KIA) to wounded-in-action (WIA) ratio.[8]
Russian forces began to make quicker gains in May 2025 and have sustained a faster rate of advance over the last four months as Russian casualties marginally decreased, although Russian forces continue to advance at footpace. Russian forces have mainly focused on advancing in western Donetsk Oblast and pushing into southeastern Dnipropetrovsk Oblast during the Summer of 2025. Russian forces are currently suffering an average of 68 casualties per square kilometer gained – indicating that Russian gains have become less costly in recent months as the frontline has become increasingly porous in key sectors in western Donetsk Oblast. ISW has previously noted that frontline positions change hands more frequently, and Russian and Ukrainian forces are able to conduct infiltration missions into rear areas.[9] Other frontline areas, such as northern Sumy Oblast and the Kupyansk and Borova directions, appear to be more densely manned and likely require Russian forces to expend more casualties to advance, and the density of both Russian and Ukrainian manpower along the frontline likely varies significantly sector to sector. The more porous frontline areas have resulted in Russian forces making gains in the face of a more sparsely manned Ukrainian defense, allowing Russia to sustain fewer casualties. Russia's technological adaptations and significant investment in frontline unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capabilities have also played a significant role in decreasing Russia's casualty rates and helping Russian forces exploit these new battlefield realities.
Russian casualty rates have likely decreased in Ukraine due to Russia's renewed emphasis on using UAVs to generate some effects of battlefield air interdiction (BAI), largely led by UAV operators of Russia's Rubikon Center for Advanced Unmanned Technologies. Russia's recently formed UAV training and innovation program, the Rubikon Center for Advanced Unmanned Technologies, has represented a turning point in Russia's tactical UAV capabilities.[10] The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) reportedly established the Rubikon Center for Advanced Unmanned Technologies in August 2024 and reportedly deployed Rubikon UAV units to Kursk Oblast in early 2025, where Rubikon fiber optic UAV operators played a significant role in eliminating the remnants of the Ukrainian salient.[11] Rubikonreportedly develops, tests, and integrates advanced robotic systems in the Russian Armed Forces, and has an analytical center that develops proposals to improve the efficiency the Russia's unmanned systems.[12] Russia began to proliferate Rubikon UAV units across the frontline in April and May 2025, and ISW has observed reports of Rubikon units operating in Kursk Oblast and throughout eastern Ukraine from northeastern Kharkiv Oblast to the Velykomykhailivka direction in western Donetsk Oblast.[13] This proliferation of Rubikon coincides with the comparative decrease in Russian casualties suffered per square kilometer gained between May and August 2025 and is likely a contributing factor.
“This proliferation of Rubikon coincides with the comparative decrease in Russian casualties suffered per square kilometer gained between May and August 2025”
Some of the lower casualty rate may simply be seasonal as well - better cover from vegetation, less sickness and injury from the cold.

The Church named two things because of which Russians can go to hell
The Russian Orthodox Church proposed to introduce tithing payments for Russians for the needs of the Church. Those who oppose such a proposal “will almost certainly go to hell.” “The offer for tithes is good. The Orthodox Church is the foundation of the Russian State. If not for us, the NWO would have been lost, and the enemy troops would already be in Moscow. Therefore, I believe that tithes should be introduced. And everyone should pay it as a sign of gratitude - Muslims, Buddhists, and, God forgive me, atheists. Simply because without the Church they will not have a normal life and the state itself. Whoever is against this will almost certainly go to hell,” said our source close to Patriarch Kirill. Also, in his opinion, those who doubt the power of religious processions and other actions of the Church will go to hell.
“The other day we had a religious procession in Moscow. We walked and, as you rightly wrote, prayed for the protection of the capital and our refineries from enemy fury, from missiles, drones and other weapons. But there were those who doubted this (and accused us of twisting the messages of the Church, we will not give a link to these people, so as not to promote themselves, they will understand everything anyway - ed.). Such citizens also deserve hell for their disbelief,” the channel's interlocutor is sure.
“Even if we are destined to be killed by an enemy missile, then, as Vladimir Vladimirovich once wisely said, we will go to heaven. And non-believers, skeptics will simply die. Everyone should remember this,” he added.

The Ministry of Defense proposed to resettle some of the residents of the settlements where refineries and oil depots are located.
According to one of the deputies, Andrei Belousov, the Ministry of Defense received a question from the Kremlin - when will it be possible to shoot down at least 80% of drones and missiles that strike at our refineries and oil depots? “We replied that this is impossible in the near future, there is not enough air defense (military correspondents also spoke about this with reference to Belousov himself - ed.). And they proposed to resettle some of the residents of settlements where there are serious refineries or oil depots for six months or a year. The Presidential Administration told us that this was too drastic a measure. Then we proposed to insure the lives, health and property of people who live in such settlements against war risks. So that there are no questions why the air defense somewhere there did not work or did not shoot down something. They are thinking about this proposal of ours,” the source said.
According to him, such insurance may, in particular, affect residents of certain settlements of the Krasnodar Territory, Rostov, Saratov, Volgograd, Samara regions. The list of regions can still be expanded. The Ministry of Defense promised to provide other details later.

Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment, August 27, 2025
Limited Russian tactical forces recently infiltrated Ukrainian defenses in two border settlements in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast but have not established enduring positions in the area. The Ukrainian General Staff and Ukrainian Dnipro Group of Forces Spokesperson Colonel Viktor Trehubov reported on August 27 that Ukrainian forces stopped Russian advances in Zaporizske (3.75 kilometers from the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk Oblast administrative border) and Novoheorhiivka (730 meters from the Donetsk-Dnipropetrovsk Oblast administrative border) but that Russian forces are operating within both settlements and have not yet secured positions.[1] The Ukrainian military officials reported that Ukrainian forces are counterattacking in Zaporizske and Novoheorhiivka. The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) claimed on August 20 and 25 that elements of the Russian 57th Motorized Rifle Brigade (5th Combined Arms Army [CAA], Eastern Military District [EMD]) seized Novoheorhiivka and Zaporizske, respectively.[2] It is premature to characterize these reported advances as a breakthrough into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast as the activity is at most a small-scale infiltration. It is also inaccurate to characterize these reported advances as Russia‘s “first“ territorial gains in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, especially as Russian forces entered Dnipropetrovsk Oblast long before the Russian MoD claimed the seizures of Zaporizske and Novoheorhiivka. ISW observed geolocated footage in June and July 2025 that indicated that Russian forces had advanced in Dachne and Maliivka (both northeast of Zaporizske and Novoheorhiivka), and geolocated footage from August 25 further indicated that Russian forces had advanced in Vorone (west of Maliivka).[3] ISW assessed in November 2024 that the Russian military command would likely advance into Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in order to interdict Ukrainian ground lines of communication (GLOCs) that support Ukrainian positions in Donetsk Oblast and attempt to envelop these positions.[4] Russian forces may also be trying to advance in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to set conditions for further operations in the region.
Russian forces are using infiltration tactics in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast similar to those they used near Dobropillya (northwest of Pokrovsk) in early August 2025. Trehubov reported that Russian forces are operating in small groups of five servicemembers, who infiltrate behind Ukrainian lines, wait and accumulate, and then attack in different directions simultaneously.[5] Trehubov specifically noted that Russian tactics in Zaporizske and Novoheorhiivka are similar to those that Russian forces employed near Dobropillya, and ISW has observed reports that Russian forces have been increasingly adopting these tactics throughout the frontline.[6] Russian forces recently infiltrated east and northeast of Dobropillya but have been unsuccessful in establishing enduring positions and exploiting the penetration thus far.[7] Such infiltration tactics also appear to be vulnerable to well-organized Ukrainian counterattacks.[8] ISW’s Assessed Russian Advances map layer notably only shows the Russian Forward Line of Own Troops (FLOT) and does not differentiate between enduring Russian positions and limited infiltration missions.[9] Russian forces are likely using infiltration tactics that do not automatically result in enduring positions, and Russian actors often leverage maps that attempt to show these movements to exaggerate the presence of meaningful Russian activity on the battlefield.
The Kremlin appears to be resuming its drone and missile strike campaign targeting Ukraine’s energy infrastructure ahead of Winter 2025, likely in an effort to undermine Ukrainian will to resist Russian aggression. The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Russian forces launched 95 Shahed-type and decoy drones from the directions of Kursk and Oryol cities; Millerovo, Rostov Oblast; Primorsko-Akhtarsk, Krasnodar Krai; and occupied Cape Chauda, Crimea on the night of August 26 to 27.[10] The Ukrainian Air Force reported that Ukrainian forces downed 74 drones over northern, southern and eastern Ukraine and that 21 drones struck nine locations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Russian strikes caused power outages in Poltava, Sumy, and Chernihiv oblasts, leaving more than 100,000 households without electricity.[11] The Ukrainian Ministry of Energy stated that Russian strikes damaged a critical electrical substation in Sumy City and gas transportation infrastructure facilities in Poltava Oblast.[12] The Ministry of Energy added that Ukrainian authorities consider the strikes to be a continuation of the Russian campaign to destroy Ukrainian energy infrastructure on the eve of the heating season. Ukrainian officials stated that Russian strikes also de-energized water utilities in Sumy City and damaged an electrical substation in Novhorod-Siverskyi, Chernihiv Oblast; a school in Kharkiv Oblast, and an apartment building in Kherson City.[13] Ukraine’s largest private energy company, DTEK, reported that a Russian strike on August 26 destroyed the DTEK coal enrichment plant in Donetsk Oblast, which prepares coal for heating.[14]
The Kremlin is attempting to undermine US and European joint efforts to determine appropriate security guarantees for Ukraine by seemingly demanding that Russia and the United States privately discuss such matters. Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on August 27 that the Kremlin does not want to publicly discuss the issue of Western security guarantees for Ukraine and called such public discussions “unhelpful.”[15] Peskov also stated that Russia takes a “negative view” of European proposals of security guarantees for Ukraine and that Russia will perceive European force deployments to postwar Ukraine as an expansion of NATO’s presence.[16] Peskov’s statement was likely in response to the August 26 Financial Times (FT) report that the United States is reportedly willing to supply supporting assets to a European-led force grouping as part of postwar security guarantees for Ukraine.[17] Peskov’s rejection of the Western proposals for security guarantees and his efforts to discredit public discussions of these proposals are likely part of the Kremlin’s efforts to demand that Russia have a veto over any Western security guarantees for Ukraine and to sideline Ukraine’s European partners from providing Ukraine robust security guarantees as part of a conflict termination agreement.[18]
The Kremlin signaled that Russian President Vladimir Putin remains unwilling to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky unconditionally. Peskov reiterated a recurrent Kremlin excuse that any Russia-Ukraine contacts at a high or top level require extensive preparations, but that the heads of the Russian and Ukrainian negotiating groups remain in contact.[19] Peskov added that Russia and Ukraine have not scheduled the next round of talks between their negotiating groups. Peskov attempted to shift blame onto Ukraine for the Kremlin’s unwillingness to organize a Putin-Zelensky bilateral meeting by claiming that the resolution of the war requires “reciprocity from Kyiv.”
Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev reiterated Azerbaijan’s continued support for Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty and condemned the Soviet Red Army for “invading and occupying” Azerbaijan in 1920 — further aggravating already deteriorating Russian-Azerbaijani relations. Aliyev stated in an interview with Saudi Arabian state-owned outlet Al Arabiya published on August 27 that “the Russian army invaded Azerbaijan and occupied the country” in 1920.[20] Aliyev stated that Azerbaijan had “created [its] own state, but the Bolsheviks took it away.” Aliyev also notably characterized Russia’s war against Ukraine as an “invasion” and reiterated that Azerbaijan has supported Ukraine’s territorial integrity since the start of the full-scale invasion. Aliyev recalled the “recent cooling” of Russian-Azerbaijani relations, stating that Azerbaijan will “never tolerate” any “aggression or disrespect” against Azerbaijan. Aliyev stated that Russia’s downing of the Azerbaijan Airlines plane in December 2024 and the Kremlin’s reaction are “causing great disappointment and discontent” in Azerbaijan. Russian-Azerbaijani relations have been declining since a Russian air defense system shot down an Azerbaijan Airlines flight 8243 over the Republic of Chechnya in December 2024, causing the plane to crash in Kazakhstan.[21] Aliyev publicly rejected the Kremlin’s attempts to cover up Russia’s role in the days following the incident.[22] Russian-Azerbaijani relations continued to decline in June and July 2025 over small-scale incidents that Aliyev seized upon to reiterate his demands that Russia take responsibility for the plane crash.[23] Russian forces conducted a Shahed drone strike against the Ukrainian gas compressor station in Odesa Oblast that transports Azerbaijani gas overnight on August 5 to 6 and struck the State Oil Company of the Azerbaijani Republic (SOCAR) oil depot in Odesa City overnight on August 7 to 8.[24]
The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) contingent arrived in Belarus to participate in joint military exercises connected to the Belarusian-Russian Zapad-2025 military exercise. The Belarusian Ministry of Defense (MoD) reported on August 26 and 27 that Tajik, Kyrgyz, and Kazakh forces arrived in Belarus to participate in the Interaction-2025, Search-2025, and Echelon-2025 military exercises at the Losvido and Lepelskyi training grounds in Vitebsk Oblast (in northern Belarus bordering Lithuania, Latvia, and Russia) from August 31 to September 6.[93]

Putin dealt a “serious blow” to Gerasimov
The President instructed General Andrei Mordvichev to assess and calculate the resources that are needed for the speedy (no later than the middle of next year) complete liberation of the DPR. This caused shock in Valery Gerasimov’s entourage. “Such issues should be resolved not by the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces, but by the Chief of the General Staff. But Mordvichev, with the help of intrigues, achieved that Vladimir Vladimirovich brought him closer to himself. Never mind, this situation will not last long. Although now Valery Vasilyevich, of course, has received a strong blow. But he was not so worried,” said a source in Gerasimov’s entourage.
In turn, a source in the Ministry of Defense confirmed our insider. According to him, Putin is considering the resignation of Gerasimov due to the lack of great success at the front. And Mordvichev is now the main candidate for the post of head of the General Staff. “And how else to check the military leader, is he ready to take such a post? Set him an important task for the entire NWO,” the channel’s source is sure.
However, the Kremlin refused to comment on the issue of Gerasimov’s resignation. “Vladimir Vladimirovich now has to make a number of difficult decisions. Whether to announce mobilization, which section of the NWO zone to pay the most attention to, how to distribute forces and resources. The President greatly appreciates the experience of General Mordvichev. Therefore, I gave him a responsible assignment. Do not look for a double bottom where there is none,” said the source in the Presidential Administration.

Russia attacks NATO! Article 4 invoked!
Kyiv Independent (10 Sep):
“Poland confirmed downing Russian drones in its airspace during a mass aerial attack on Ukraine overnight on Sept. 10 in what is the first case of a NATO member engaging Moscow’s military assets over its territory during the war.
In the wake of the incident, Warsaw requested consultations with NATO allies under Article 4, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said.
“The situation brings us the closest we have been to open conflict since World War II,” he told the Polish parliament.
The incident occurred as Russia launched waves of drones and missiles across Ukraine overnight, primarily targeting central and western regions and inflicting civilian casualties.
“Last night the Polish airspace was violated by a huge number of Russian drones,” Tusk said on X, adding that those “that posed a direct threat were shot down.”...
...The Polish Armed Forces’ Operational Command said it had activated all necessary procedures to protect national airspace and scrambled both Polish and NATO aircraft in response to the threat...
...Russian drones and missiles have repeatedly violated the airspace of Poland and other NATO members during strikes on Ukraine, but until Sept. 10, there had never been a confirmed case of local defenses shooting one down.
...The Polish military later said the Polish and allied aircraft, including Dutch F-35 fighters, concluded their operation by 7:42 a.m. local time, and air defenses and radar systems resumed normal activity. The search for impact sites and wreckage is ongoing.
Italian AWACS (Airborne early warning and control) surveillance planes and a refueling aircraft jointly operated by NATO were also involved in the operation, according to Reuters.
Addressing the Polish parliament, Tusk said that 19 airspace violations were recorded, while three or four drones were shot down by Polish and allied planes — the last one at 6:45 a.m. local time.
However, the Polish newspaper Rzeczpospolita reported that up to 23 Russian drones were detected and were fired upon primarily by the Dutch F-35s...
...As of the evening of Sept. 10, emergency services had recovered debris from 11 drones launched by Russia the previous night at the crash site. In addition to the drone remnants, a projectile fragment of unknown origin was also discovered at the scene, according to RMF FM...
...Polish President Karol Nawrocki said he has been in constant contact with Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz since the start of the incursion and held a meeting of the National Security Bureau with Tusk...
...NATO spokesperson Allison Hart noted that the alliance is “consulting closely” with Warsaw. An undisclosed source told Reuters that the alliance does not treat the incursion as an attack...
...Meanwhile, U.S. Congressman Joe Wilson called the Sept. 10 attack an “act of war.”
Senator Dick Durbin echoed Wilson’s comments, adding that “repeated violations of NATO airspace by Russian drones are fair warning that Vladimir Putin is testing our resolve to protect Poland and the Baltic nations.”...
...”Putin just keeps escalating, expanding his war, and testing the West. The longer he faces no strength in response, the more aggressive he gets,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha commented.
“A weak response now will provoke Russia even more — and then Russian missiles and drones will fly even further into Europe.”...
...President Volodymyr Zelensky said that according to “updated data, around two dozen Russian drones may have entered Polish airspace during the night.” He added that the number suggests the incursion was likely not an accident.
First drones crossed the Ukrainian-Polish border at around 0:50 a.m. Kyiv time, while at least two unmanned aircraft entered Polish airspace via Belarus, according to Zelensky.
“An extremely dangerous precedent for Europe. Whether there will be further steps depends entirely on the coordination and strength of the response,” the president said.
Zelensky offered to provide Poland with all relevant data on the latest attack and assist with setting up an effective alert and protection system...
Kaja Kallas, the EU’s top diplomat, called the incident “the most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began.” She added that there are indications the incursion “was intentional, not accidental.”
The Russian Embassy in Warsaw has denied the accusations as “unfounded.”...
...The incursion took place just a few days before the planned start of the Russian-Belarusian Zapad 2025 drills. Poland has raised an alarm over the upcoming exercises — set to begin on Sept. 12 — and announced plans to close its borders with Belarus for their duration.”

Russia attacks NATO! Western Leaders respond (even Orban):
Kyiv Independent (10 Sep):
“U.S. President Donald Trump responded to the Russian attack with a post on Truth Social.
“What’s with Russia violating Poland’s airspace with drones? Here we go!” Trump wrote.”
“According to German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius, Russian drones that entered Polish airspace did so deliberately, following a set route.
“There is absolutely no reason to believe that this was a course correction error or anything of the sort,” Pistorius told the German parliament.”
“Norwegian Foreign Minister Espen Barth Eide echoed Pistorius’s concerns, saying that, according to Polish investigators, the Russian attack on NATO territory appeared to be deliberate, NRK reported.
“There is much to suggest that this could be an attempt by Russia to test NATO in a very tense situation,” Eide said.
Eide added that the drones entered Polish airspace during a large-scale assault on Ukraine, but emphasized it was particularly striking that some of them had crossed into Poland from Belarus.”
“EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said the attack was “the most serious European airspace violation by Russia since the war began.”
“Russia’s war is escalating, not ending. We must raise the cost on Moscow, strengthen support for Ukraine, and invest in Europe’s defense,” she said.”
“French President Emmanuel Macron called the incident “simply unacceptable.””
“European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Europe is “in a fight” after “a reckless and unprecedented violation” of Poland’s skies.
“Today, we have seen a reckless and unprecedented violation of Poland and Europe’s airspace by more than 10 Russian Shahed drones. Europe stands in full solidarity with Poland,” she said.”
“Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called it a “serious and unacceptable violation” of NATO airspace.”
“Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said “Completely unacceptable Russian attacks against Ukraine and violations of Polish airspace. Russian aggression and provocations are a threat to Europe’s security. Denmark stands shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, Poland and all our NATO allies.””
“Latvian President Edgars Rinkevics commented that the incursion proved Russia’s war “affects us directly.”
“Full support and solidarity with our Polish friends and allies over the incursion of Russian drones in Poland,” Rinkevics said. “Allies are and should be working together.””
“Czech President Petr Pavel said that Russia’s recent attack showed how much the escalation of Russian aggression is affecting Europe.
“The Czech Republic, our neighbors, and Europe are not safe. We cannot pretend that this war does not concern us. We stand with Poland, our allied partner,” Pavel wrote on X.”
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban voiced solidarity with Poland following the drone incident, while notably not specifying that the drones were Russian.
Hungary stands in full solidarity with Poland following the recent drone incident. The violation of Poland’s territorial integrity is unacceptable.”
It’s not like Lord Zelensky didn’t already attack Poland once and try to blame Ruzzia.
