MFA statement on summoning Andrei Ordash, chargé d'affaires of the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Warsaw

On 10 September 2025, Russia's chargé d'affaires Andrei Ordash was summoned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He received a note of protest after the Polish airspace had been violated multiple times by Russian unmanned aircraft on the night between 9 and 10 September.

In the wake of the unfriendly actions taken by the Russian Federation and an unprecedented attack on the territory of a NATO and EU member state, the diplomat was informed of Poland's strong opposition against such a flagrant breach of norms and obligations under international law. Russia's actions are a testament to its lack of credibility as a responsible member of the international community and a permanent member of the UN Security Council.

The violation of Poland's airspace by Russian drones is treated as another deliberate provocation as well as a real threat to the civilian population, the infrastructure, and aviation safety. For this reason, the Russian side was called to immediately provide explanations on the incursion into the Polish airspace and to cease the unfriendly and provocative actions against Poland. It was stressed that the latter are taken while the armed invasion of Ukraine continues across our eastern border, causing hundreds of thousands of casualties.
