PM: WE STAND WITH POLAND

Starmer sends RAF jets after Russian drone incursions

- BY DAVE BURKE Political Correspondent

KEIR Starmer is deploying RAF jets to defend Poland after Vladimir Putin's drone incursions into it and another Nato country.

Around 19 Kremlin drones crossed into Polish airspace on Wednesday. Some were shot down, others crashed.

And on Sunday Romania discovered a similar violation, as Moscow continues its onslaught on Ukraine.

The incidents are a huge escalation that could draw allies including Britain into direct confrontation with Russia.
