  "account": "Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned that Russia is planning to carry out drone and missile strikes on eastern NATO countries, presenting them as accidental. Addressing parliament, Tusk stated that citizens have the right to be informed about the likely scenarios based on available information. Intelligence from allies, including the United States and Ukraine, suggests various possible scenarios, but one is most likely. Russia's recent tactics, such as using jet-powered drones to strike targets near the Polish border, are expected to continue, along with attacks on Ukrainian economic and logistics infrastructure. Tusk's plan is to weaken NATO member states' motivation to apply appropriate NATO regulations in the event of aggression against any member state, claiming these incidents would be \"random\" and \"accidental\" to avoid any NATO response.",
