Drones reportedly belonging to Russia entered Polish airspace, raising the risk of direct confrontation between NATO and Moscow. At the same time, large-scale Russian military exercises launched in Belarus, along with NATO\u2019s counter \u201cEastern Sentry\u201d drills, have pushed the regional military balance into an even more fragile state.<br \/>\nSpeaking to REAL Television\u2019s \u201cReal Interview\u201d program, political commentator Ahmad Shahidov underlined that the current events are not limited to military maneuvers but also carry strong political messages:<br \/>\n\u201cThe \u2018Zapad-2025\u2019 exercises in Belarus are Moscow\u2019s clear signal to the West, showing its determination to preserve its influence in the region. On the other hand, NATO\u2019s response drills demonstrate that while the Alliance seeks to avoid direct confrontation with Russia, it is simultaneously reinforcing its defense mechanisms on the eastern flank. The drone incidents over Poland represent the greatest risk, as a single miscalculation could escalate a local military incident into a larger war.\u201d<br \/>\nAccording to Ahmad Shahidov, the latest statements from world leaders also highlight the seriousness of the situation. U.S. President Donald Trump declared that NATO would respond collectively to any attack. Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in Minsk that \u201call available means will be used to guarantee Russia\u2019s border security.\u201d Polish President Andrzej Duda, meanwhile, vowed that any violation of his country\u2019s airspace would be met with a firm response.<br \/>\nPolitical commentator Ahmad Shahidov emphasized that at this stage, maintaining military balance while keeping diplomatic channels open remains of vital importance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18630\" src=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025-475x267.jpg 475w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18631\" src=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025a-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025a-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025a-475x267.jpg 475w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025a-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025a-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025a-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025a.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025b.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18632\" src=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025b-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025b-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025b-475x267.jpg 475w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025b-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025b-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025b-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025b.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025c.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-18633\" src=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025c-700x394.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025c-700x394.jpg 700w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025c-475x267.jpg 475w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025c-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025c-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025c-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/shahidov.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/realtv_15.09.2025c.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In recent days, developments have further strained the security environment in Eastern Europe.
