In this EU Policy Video, Dr. Mikhail Polianskii discusses what recent Russian drone incursions over Poland reveal about risk acceptance, threshold testing, and Europe’s air defence posture. Drawing from EU Policy Brief #14, he explains why low-cost probes can map allied response cycles, the cost-exchange challenge for European defences, and practical steps ranging from coordination fixes to credible cost-imposition in order to deter the next test.
