“This is act of war”: U.S. congressman on Russian drones crossing Polish border
U.S. Republican Congressman Joe Wilson has reacted to Russian drones crossing into Polish airspace during a massive attack on Ukraine on the night of September 10, calling the incident “an act of war”
He made the statement on social media.
"Russia is attacking NATO ally Poland with Iranian shahed drones less than a week after President Trump hosted President Nawrocki at the White House. This is an act of war, and we are grateful to NATO allies for their swift response to war criminal Putin’s continued unprovoked aggression against free and productive nations," the post said.
Wilson urged U.S. President Donald Trump to respond with sanctions that would “bankrupt the Russian military machine,” and stressed the need to arm Ukraine with weapons capable of striking targets inside Russia.
“Putin is no longer content just losing in Ukraine while bombing mothers and babies, he is now directly testing our resolve in NATO territory. Putin stated that ‘Russia knows no borders.’ Free and prosperous nations will teach Russia about borders,” the congressman emphasized.
