  • Poland's president, Karol Nawrocki, stated that Donald Trump is the sole leader capable of addressing Vladimir Putin's ongoing threat to Europe.

  • He highlighted that at least 20 Russian drones violated Polish airspace last year, prompting a Nato response and demonstrating Russia's aggressive posture.
