The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on for more than three years. Thousands of people have lost their lives. But now, something more serious has happened. Russia has issued a direct warning to Poland and the Baltic states — Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia.
Russia Issues Direct Threat to Poland and Neighbors
This new threat is not just a passing comment. It has come directly from Russia’s top intelligence office. According to reports, the warning said that if these countries do not stop what Russia calls “aggressive actions,” then Russia will take revenge. The warning also included a specific line: if NATO continues its aggression towards Russia and Belarus, the first countries to suffer would be Poland and the Baltic states.
The statement was made after a meeting between Russian and Belarusian leaders. Belarus, which is a close friend of Russia, has also accused Poland and the Baltic countries of doing dangerous activities near their borders. Belarus claimed that Poland is planning to place millions of anti-tank mines along the borders. These areas are close to Belarus and the Russian region of Kaliningrad.
Latvia’s defense leadership has responded strongly. They said they are looking into every possible way to strengthen their country’s defense.

The goal is to keep their people safe and be ready in case of any military danger. Poland has also increased its alert levels. Military movement has been observed in several areas along the border.
This situation is causing concern across Europe. It is not only about Ukraine anymore. Now, more countries are preparing for possible conflict. Citizens in Poland and the Baltic nations have started paying close attention to news and safety warnings. Some towns near the borders have already started making emergency plans.
Bombings in Ukraine Continue as War Spreads Fear
While these threats are being made, the war in Ukraine is still very intense. In one of the latest attacks, a missile struck the Ukrainian city of Sumy. At least 35 people died in the attack, and more than 100 others were hurt. Buildings were destroyed, and emergency teams had to work for hours to help the injured and remove rubble.

These kinds of missile attacks have been happening more frequently. Russia has increased the number of air strikes in different Ukrainian cities. Many of these attacks happen at night when people are sleeping. It causes fear among families and children who have already suffered for many months.
This increase in attacks has caused global anger. Many countries have come out and spoken against the violence. International leaders are calling for stronger support for Ukraine. There are also growing fears that the war may spread to other parts of Europe if these threats from Russia are acted upon.
Even though peace talks have been suggested, the bombings have not stopped. People in Ukraine continue to live under the constant threat of air raids. Sirens go off daily, and shelters are always full. Schools, hospitals, and homes have all been hit by bombs at different times during this long war.
NATO Reacts to Russian Warnings and Stands Firm
As Russia makes threats and continues bombings, NATO — the group of countries that work together to defend each other — has taken action. The NATO Chief recently visited Ukraine to show support. During the visit, NATO clearly said that they still stand with Ukraine and will not back away.
One of the big requests from Ukraine was to get more air defense systems. These are needed to stop missiles and protect cities from being bombed. NATO has said they are considering the request seriously. Some member countries have already started discussing ways to help more.
Meanwhile, Latvia called the Russian missile strikes a “clear violation” of international rules. They also summoned the Russian ambassador to express their anger about the attacks. Across Europe, the mood is tense. Soldiers are training, air spaces are being watched carefully, and emergency drills are being done in cities that are close to Russia.
The situation is now affecting countries beyond Ukraine. With Poland and the Baltic states being named in the threat, the war is no longer just a local conflict. Security forces in these countries are on high alert. Border areas are being watched 24/7. Roads near military bases have been blocked in some places for safety.
In short, the threat from Russia has added a new and dangerous layer to an already ongoing war. The international community is watching closely, and many are hoping that the situation does not get worse. For now, people in Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia are living in fear, preparing for anything that might come next.
