Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that Poland asked to evoke Article 4 of NATO treaty, and they are in ongoing consultations with allies to boost Poland's air defences, APA reports.
"The fact that these drones, which posed a security threat, were shot down changes the political situation. Therefore, allied consultations took the form of a formal request to activate Article 4 of the NATO Treaty," Tusk said.
The Polish prime minister also said that Poland needs more than expressions of solidarity and more support from allies.
Tusk added that there is no reason to claim that Poland is in a state of war, but that it's in a situation closest to armed conflict since World War Two.
Article 4 states that NATO members will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territory, political independence or security of any of them is threatened.
Under Article 4, discussions at the North Atlantic Council, NATO's principal political decision-making body, could potentially lead to some form of joint decision or action.
