Poland: High public support for Baltic defense amid hybrid warfare threats
A recent IBRiS poll conducted for Radio ZET indicates that approximately 77.8% of Polish respondents believe the country should provide assistance to Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia in the event of a Russian attack. This support is notably consistent across the political spectrum, with 83% of voters from the ruling coalition expressing support for aiding the Baltic states.
In a separate report, Der Spiegel highlights that Poland has become a primary target for Russian hybrid warfare. The report cites various incidents affecting NATO's eastern flank, including cyberattacks and acts of sabotage. Specifically, it identifies the May 2024 warehouse fire on Marywilska Street in Warsaw as an act of sabotage commissioned by Russian services, and notes a November 2025 attempt to sabotage strategic railway tracks.
