UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned of the "real danger of expansion" of the conflict in Ukraine following the entry of about 20 Russian drones into Polish airspace.

"Guterres is following with concern reports that Russian military drones entered Poland, violating Polish airspace, causing damage to residential areas," UN Chief Spokesman Stéphane Dujarric said at a press conference.

Thus, "the incident occurred during a large-scale drone and missile attack on Ukraine in Russia, but highlights its impact on the region and the real risk of the spread of this devastating conflict," he said.

In this context, it considers that "there is an urgent need for a complete, immediate and unconditional ceasefire and a just, comprehensive and lasting peace in Ukraine, which fully defends the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine, in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, international law and UN resolutions".

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has confirmed 19 attacks by Russian drones, which have forced defense systems toactivate and drop at least three drones .

Warsaw has praised Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty for requiring formal consultations with the other NATO member countries, where the United States is also located.
