Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Sorry if this has been asked but whatever happened to those Russian anti Putin militants posting videos threatening him, are they behind these drone attacks?

Airspace violations tend to happen when you've got border with a country like Russia (or Belarus in this case). Next time they try that, the helicopters will get shot down.

I'm shocked Poland let this happen. Should have been a very strong red line.

Piss taking by Belarus

Unfortunately, maybe not

damage seems limited at least.

Why are Poland and Ukraine calling in each other's ambassadors?A diplomatic row between Ukraine and Poland shows little sign of slowing down, with both countries calling in each other's ambassadors today.

It's a relatively rare breakdown between two neighbours who have been firm allies since the start of the invasion - but what caused it?

The row was sparked by top Polish presidential adviser Marcin Przydacz saying Kyiv should be more grateful for Poland's support over the years - similar comments to those from outgoing UK defence secretary Ben Wallace last month.

Mr Przydacz's comments angered Ukrainian officials - Ukraine summoned Poland's ambassador to the country for a meeting to discuss them earlier today.

A Ukrainian foreign ministry spokesperson also dismissed the adviser's comments as "untrue and unacceptable", with a stinging statement.

"We are convinced that Ukrainian-Polish friendship is much deeper than political expediency," the statement read. "Politics should not call into question the mutual understanding and strength of relations between our peoples."

That in turn has angered Poland. Warsaw has this evening called in Ukraine's ambassador, simply to discuss "comments of representatives of Ukrainian authorities."

But the cause of Ukraine's biting response may not be quite that clear-cut.

Mr Przydacz was also quoted as saying: "What is most important today is to defend the interest of the Polish farmer."

That has been widely interpreted as a call for the EU to let Poland extend its ban on imports of Ukrainian grain - a ban that is due to expire on 15 September. 

The EU had allowed Poland (as well as Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia) to stop imports because huge amounts of Ukrainian grain were stranded in the country after Russia blocked Black Sea ports, effectively driving up supply and massively cutting prices, affecting Polish farmers. 

Ukraine has long called for the ban to be ditched, saying it's "unfriendly" - so a top adviser's call for to continue is being seen in Kyiv as fresh hostility.

Edit: in repost to the guy saying the next one will be shot down if it passed the polish border.

These types of things happen very often and nothing is ever shot down.

It's a test to how quick can they react, a provocation or just a news paper story.

And it happens in our waters too.

Border violations don't happen that often with combat helicopters, that was the point I was trying to make. So if they try that one again..

This is awful.

All because of little man syndrome.

Where did we see that before.

Putler.

That story began long before the actual shooting down of the Russian fighter, and began with the downing of another aircraft. It was a holiday Jet leaving Sharm-El-Sheik, Egypt and bound for St. Petersburg loaded with Russian passengers. ISIS had placed a bomb on board which exploded shortly after take -off. This was in retaliation for the Russian attacks in Syria. So in retaliation for this, the Russian's then started to bomb the fuel convoys leaving for Turkey from the isis controlled Syrian oil fields. The oil business in Turkey is controlled by Erdogan's son ( its the family business )and in retaliation. he ( or his Dad) ordered the downing of the Russian fighter plane. And the story continues to this day....

There will be two Country's traumatized for generations rogber. And all because of the madness of one man, and his crony's, Vladimir Putin. And these are not the only Country's he and Russia has traumatized either, you can add Afghanistan ( even after many years, mine's laid during the Russian occupation are still killing and maiming Afghans to this day) Syria and every Country Russia has had a presence in, has the same experience.

Saw Russia attacked grain stores and transport infrastructure very close to Romania again last night so this seems to be a priority target for them now.

I would say this is (yet more) escalation from Russia given it won't take all that much to go "wrong" for some of these to start exploding over the border (or you never know, Russia may even plan a bit of spillover into Romania "accidentally on purpose" as it were).

Let me guess, you probably think the guardian is an outlet for Russian propaganda?

Did you even read the article? It's cautiously optimistic.
