Why is Poland a Russian target?

Poland, a key NATO and EU member bordering Ukraine, is a critical logistical hub for aid to Ukraine. This strategic importance makes it a prime target for Russian intelligence operations, including espionage and hybrid attacks aimed at destabilising the region. The increased threat against Tusk reflects this heightened geopolitical tension.
