Poland's prime minister cites CIA report, warns of broader security threats

At a gathering of Visegrad leaders and Ireland's prime minister, Donald Tusk confirmed that a CIA director had provided his government with a detailed report on potential developments in the near future. While he kept the content of the briefing confidential, Tusk emphasized that Poland and the wider European Union must anticipate diverse scenarios, extending beyond the ongoing conflict in Ukraine to the eastern flank of the EU.

In response, Civic Coalition MP Paweł Kowal warned that sabotage incidents are likely to rise and affirmed that Poland is well-equipped, citing its weapons industry, civil defence spending, a SAFE loan, and support from NATO allies. Kowal also noted strong interest from Ukraine in collaborating with the Polish defence sector as part of an anti-ballistic initiative. The officials stressed that these preparations aim to bolster national security and reassure citizens.
