Poland has confirmed that joint security operations with Ukraine thwarted a direct attack on a border crossing, reinforcing Prime Minister Donald Tusk's warning—backed by US intelligence—that Russian forces are preparing to target infrastructure along the EU's eastern borders.

  • According to GN geopolitics/migration (en-US), Polish and Ukrainian security services successfully neutralized an imminent threat to a shared border crossing early Thursday, while Tusk cited specific CIA intelligence reports confirming the high likelihood of further Russian strikes on EU eastern flank infrastructure in the coming months.
