Meanwhile, Poland deployed fighter jets to secure its airspace. Zelenskyy mentioned that “civilian infrastructure facilities,” a rubber factory, and apartment buildings were all damaged during the “brutal strikes” observed in the Russian attack. The attack also initiated military responses in neighbouring Poland, with fighter jets scrambled early Sunday morning as Russia targeted sites in western Ukraine, according to the Polish armed forces. Poland’s military announced it scrambled fighter jets into its airspace and activated ground-based air defence systems on high alert following the Russian strikes in Ukraine. The military stated that the moves were defensive, intended to safeguard Polish airspace and protect citizens, particularly in regions near Ukraine.
