Russian drone crashes in Polish field as Warsaw protests airspace violation and plans formal complaint
A Russian drone may have crashed in a field in Poland, a move the country's deputy prime minister called a "provocation," as the United States and European leaders continue to push Moscow to end its war in Ukraine. The drone hit a cornfield in the village of Osiny in the eastern Lublin province, about 62 miles from Poland's border with Ukraine, Reuters reported. Deputy Prime Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, who also serves as defense minister, said Wednesday's incident was similar to cases in which Russian drones flew into Lithuania and Romania, and could be linked to efforts to end the war in Ukraine, according to the outlet. "Once again, we are dealing with a provocation by the Russian Federation, with a Russian drone. We are dealing with it in a crucial moment, when discussions about peace (in Ukraine) are underway," Kosiniak-Kamysz told journalists. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Pawel Wronski told Reuters that some experts have suggested a Russian version of the Shahed drone developed by Iran was involved in the latest incident. Polish Gen. Dariusz Malinowski said the drone had a Chinese engine and appeared to be a decoy that was designed to self-destruct. The blast shattered windows in several homes, but nobody was injured, the Polish PAP news agency reported. Police recovered burnt metal and plastic debris at the site. "I was sitting in my room at night, around midnight, maybe, and I heard something just bang," local resident Pawel Sudowski told local news website "It exploded so loudly that the whole house simply shook." On X, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said his ministry would issue a protest against the airspace violation, without naming the perpetrator. "Another violation of our airspace from the East confirms that Poland's most important mission towards NATO is the defence (sic) of our own territory," he wrote. The incident came as the Trump administration continues to broker talks between Russia and Ukraine to end the bloody three-year conflict. On Monday, Trump hosted Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and a group of European leaders at the White House. On Friday he met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska.

People Seriously Can't Believe Trump's Latest Statement About No Elections In 2028
On Monday, Donald Trump met with several European leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and made some remarks that left the internet saying, "WTF." When asked if he was open to holding an election once peace is achieved, Zelenskyy replied, "Yes, of course." He explained there aren't elections during wartime as they're focused on security, but the goal is "truth everywhere, in the battlefield, in the sky, in the sea," so people can resume democratic, legal elections. Related: Trump interrupted the Ukrainian leader to confirm the bit about no elections during wartime. "Three and a half years from now, if we happen to be in a war with somebody, no more elections," he said. "Oh, that's good," he concluded. Good for who??? Related: I really don't like this little smile at the end. Notably, this happened on the same day Trump made headlines for showing off his "Trump 2028" and "4 more years" merch. Obviously, people had a lot to say about this: Editor's Note: While we can't endorse what X has become, we can bring you the worthwhile moments that still exist there, curated and free of the surrounding chaos. Related: "A sitting US President 'jokes' about manufacturing a war to stop democracy and stay in power. Crazy how this shit is not a MUCH bigger deal and will instead be forgotten or dismissed," one X (formerly Twitter) user wrote. Another person said, "You can practically see the dim little lightbulb flicker on above his head. 'Wait a second... if my country is in a war... I don't have to leave the White House... EVER?! THAT'S GOOD!' It's the giddy, amoral excitement of a child who has just discovered a brand new and fantastic way to cheat at the game. Except the game is the Constitution of the United States." "It's not funny.... Cause you know DAMN well it has already crossed his mind, that to me is scary!!! YOU'RE NOT FUNNY TRUMP!!!!" Related: "Democrats need to step up and meet this loser and loser gop party where they are at! Ethics are no longer a part of the Republican party and everyone needs to realize that."
