The swift conclusion to the incursion by more than [a dozen Russian drones](https://inews.co.uk/opinion/russia-drone-attack-poland-donald-trump-tusk-3910946?ico=in-line_link) into Poland this week is that that these provocations are more than likely to be repeated, and that Nato must do more to prevent this. “Nato must build its anti drone wall,” suggests the Polish foreign minister, Radek Sikorski.
The debate still rages about whether the [Russian drone invasion](https://inews.co.uk/opinion/russia-drone-attack-poland-donald-trump-tusk-3910946?ico=most_popular) was by accident or design. Either way, it could mark a dramatic and unpredictable widening of the conflict in Ukraine. Russia now has the Nato allies of the region – the Baltics, Poland and Finland, especially – in its sights. A major military exercise through the next few days in Belarus will involve nuclear-capable forces. The possibility of nuclear accident is palpable.
The drones appear to have been a mix of attack drones and decoys, designed to spoof air defence radars and distract air defence missiles and aircraft. According to reports [from Poland](https://inews.co.uk/topic/poland?ico=in-line_link), Polish and Lithuanian SIM cards were found among the drone wreckage. This suggests that the Russians are working out attack paths into these countries’ air space and connecting the drones to local mobile networks.
For the time being – and perhaps forever, under this Kremlin cabal – serious peace negotiations are off the table. Putin and his generals are aiming to win a headline victory by winter – otherwise they face another year of grinding war.

Has Russia ever not acted like an imperialist aggressor nation? Honestly asking. Was their any period on their history where this wasn’t the case?
(bonus points if you can answer without whataboutism)

So posts like this usually imply that Russia is too weak to win Ukraine, but is trying to attack the whole NATO at the very same time? Would anybody explain this to me please?..

The American former security adviser and noted strategist General HR McMaster told the BBC that he thought the drone salvo on Tuesday and Wednesday was deliberate. It was a probing mission to test immediate air defences along Nato’s borders – [and to test Nato’s resolve.](https://inews.co.uk/news/ive-been-in-nato-article-4-meeting-what-really-like-3910608?ico=in-line_link)
Russia’s [war in Ukraine](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/russias-latest-deadly-strikes-on-ukraine-show-putin-remains-intent-on-conquest-3907848?ico=in-line_link) is reaching a critical stage. If it continues to go sour, the survival of Putin’s non-ideological autocratic regime could be at stake.
