Grigory Azarenok claimed that the drones that entered Poland on the night of September 10 were there because of the Ukrainians. He posted a video on the subject in his Telegram channel “Azarenok. CTV. Belarus.” СТВ. Беларусь».“The Banderites have long since learned how to ‘hack the brains’ [of drones] and redirect them using electronic warfare. That’s how they went and done flew into Belarus too, but we didn’t make a scene"
A few hours prior, the same Telegram channel published another post about the drones. It claimed that even the Polish authorities blamed Ukraine: “The Poles themselves have long admitted that the drones entered by accident after electronic jamming.”
The comment from Polish military officials on the day of the incident was: “In our assessment, this is aggression. Of course, it can still be checked whether this was purely a mistake or a deliberate test of our readiness, of our forces and means. … The Russians are probing how impermeable our defenses are.”
At a Sejm session that same day, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called the attack deliberate: “For the first time during this war, not from Ukraine as a result of errors, drone disorientation or minor Russian provocations at a minimal level, but for the first time a significant number of these drones entered Poland directly from Belarus.”
Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski also said he did not believe the drones entered by accident.
Two fakes on the subject were also aired on Radio-Minsk on September 10. Political analyst Pyotr Petrovsky claimed that Poland was hiding drone photos and that they might not be Russian: “I watched Tusk in the Sejm today, where he says … He says: ‘These are Russian drones, this and that.’ He repeats it like a parrot. But there is not a single video or photo proving whose drones they were … There was no drone at all. Just damaged houses and so on.”
Polish media published photos of drones found in different locations. All of them resembled the Russian-made Gerbera UAV.
Around two dozen drones entered Poland from Ukrainian and Belarusian territory on the night of September 9–10, 2025. Some were shot down by air defenses, others crashed on their own, mostly in Lublin Voivodeship near the Ukrainian border. Russia said it was targeting Ukraine and had no objectives in Poland.
