  "account": "Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned on September 13 that Russia may intensify its actions near the Polish border in the coming months following recent strikes. Tusk stated that the escalation of Russian Federation actions is becoming a reality and is getting closer to their borders. Poland can reasonably expect very intensive actions from Russia in the upcoming weeks and months, Tusk said during a briefing with defense officials. The threats are becoming more dangerous, with Russia potentially using more advanced equipment. At least one drone strike targeted a train near the Polish border, potentially aimed at disorganizing Ukrainian border crossings. Tusk emphasized that Poland must be prepared for joint defense with allies if necessary.",
  "summary": "Tusk's statement comes a day after Russia launched drones overnight at western Ukraine, striking a gas station near the Yahodyn-Dorohusk border crossing and a Kyiv-Warsaw passenger train just 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) from the Polish border.",
