Meanwhile, Prime Minister Donald Tusk warns that Poland is at its closest to open conflict since World War Two.
  • Poland says it shot down drone-like objects which violated its airspace during a Russian attack on Ukraine
  • This marks the first time a member of the Nato military alliance has directly engaged Russian assets in its airspace since the Ukraine war started in 2022
  • Poland’s president will soon be chairing a National Security briefing with key officials
  • The Polish PM says the operation is “ongoing” and he is in contact with the Nato chief; he will also be conducting an extraordinary cabinet meeting in an hour
  • The Polish military says the incident is an “unprecedented violation of Polish airspace”, an “act of aggression that posed a real threat to the safety of our citizens”
  • Citizens in three regions along the border with Ukraine, including Mazowieckie where the capital Warsaw is located, have been urged to stay home and shelter
  • Operations at four airports have also paused, with the country’s major air hub Chopin airport in Warsaw saying that airspace over the country has been shut

      Yeah, the creators of Lemmy are communists of some form (I don’t remember exactly), and the older instances are largely groups of like-minded people, some egregious and some not. The most intolerable of the instances have been defederated from the rest of the instances, so they can’t interact with the rest of Lemmy. ML is probably the most mild of the bunch and is largely just one of the big instances full of memes and such, but you’ll occasionally see why they use the .ml address flare up in threads.
