New Facts: European Leaders Warn of Imminent Russian Attack

Poland’s prime minister told parliament that intelligence points to Russia possibly launching drone or missile strikes on NATO territory within months, potentially staged as accidents to test the alliance’s collective‑defense pledge. France’s president called the warning sound and well documented, and summoned party leaders and 2027 presidential candidates to an emergency meeting in Paris to review the threat.

European intelligence chiefs outlined what such a test could look like. The head of Czech counterintelligence, Michal Koudelka, said scenarios range from increased drone activity and false‑flag provocations to a limited incursion across a NATO border, with a timeline of months, not years. He said services are working to prevent it.

Baltic services urged calm. Latvia’s security chief Normunds Mežviets said there are no indications of an imminent attack, while acknowledging signs Moscow is preparing more decisive action that may aim to spread fear. Estonia’s foreign ministry secretary general Jonatan Vseviov pushed back at social‑media panic and told the public to keep calm and continue supporting Ukraine.
