Earlier this week saw the biggest-ever air assault on Ukraine, with more than 800 drones. A government building was targeted. Now, drones have been flown to the far west of Ukraine - not the first time this part of the country has been hit, but the frequency is increasing. Just a few weeks ago when I was in Ukraine, Polish fighter jets were scrambled because of drones close to the border. Now Warsaw's airport has been shut, it's a clear sign of the escalation and the panic as Iranian-made Shahed drones infringe on Polish airspace. Those talks between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska - not even four weeks ago - feel like a lifetime away.

SharePoland's downing of objects marks a new development since Ukraine war startedpublished at 04:18 British Summer Time04:18 BSTpublished at 11:1811:18 With the Polish armed forces confirming objects have been "downed", it marks what could be the first time the Nato country has directly engaged Russian assets in its airspace since the Ukraine war started in 2022, if the objects are confirmed to be Russian.It's not the first time Polish fighter jets have been deployed since the conflict began. But previous instances mostly concerned Russian drones overflying Polish airspace trying to reach Ukraine.Russia has so far been muted about the incident.

ShareWhen I was in Ukraine a few weeks ago, Polish fighter jets were also scrambledpublished at 03:44 British Summer Time03:44 BSTpublished at 10:4410:44Katy Watson Every night, Ukrainians brace themselves for air attacks from Russian drones and missiles. Some nights are worse than others - but Ukraine never escapes the aggression. The air raid sirens that ring out across cities are the soundtrack to most Ukrainians’ lives now.And every morning, the Ukrainian military release the numbers – how many drones and missiles attacked, where they hit – and who got hurt. It’s a familiar pattern but the air assaults are getting more brazen. Earlier this week saw the biggest-ever air assault on Ukraine, with more than 800 drones. A government building was targeted. Image source, ReutersNow, drones have been flown to the far west of Ukraine - not the first time this part of the country has been hit, but the frequency is increasing. Just a few weeks ago when I was in Ukraine, Polish fighter jets were scrambled because of drones close to the border. Now Warsaw's airport has been shut, it's a clear sign of the escalation and the panic as Iranian-made Shahed drones infringe on Polish airspace. Those talks between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin in Alaska - not even four weeks ago - feel like a lifetime away. So too does the prospect of peace.
