The vast majority of Poles dismissed U.S. President Donald Trump's suggestion that Russia's recent drone incursion may have been accidental, according to an IBRiS poll for Polish radio station Radio ZET published on Sept. 17.

Despite widespread reporting suggesting the Sept. 10 drone incursion was deliberate, Trump refused to acknowledge Russia's responsibility.

Trump told reporters on Sept. 11 that the incident "could have been a mistake," as tensions surged in Warsaw after 21 Russian drones violated Polish airspace.

According to the poll, 81.7% of respondents rejected the possibility of an accident, while only 10.6% agreed with Trump's interpretation.

Supporters of the opposition Law and Justice party, which backed Trump-endorsed President Karol Nawrocki during the election, were the most skeptical, with just 4% considering the drone incursion unintentional.

The results come amid strong pushback from Polish officials, who have firmly rejected Trump's characterization of the incursion.

Echoing his chief diplomat, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk commented, "We would also wish that the drone attack on Poland was a mistake. »
