Compared to the propeller-driven weapons used for more than four years, the newer drones fly faster and at higher altitudes, making them more difficult to intercept.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Russia is also increasingly targeting Ukrainian infrastructure near the Polish border, Tusk said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed__float-wrap\">\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\" data-ads=\"{\" extrawordcount=\"\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content \"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/09\/18\/13c37f47-e9f2-4c83-a690-fa612a4198a8\/thumbnail\/620x465\/00c34ec81418125995763833b05d51fd\/poland-ukraine-train-drone-2295255273.jpg#\" alt=\"UKRAINE-RUSSIA-CONFLICT-WAR \" height=\"465\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/09\/18\/13c37f47-e9f2-4c83-a690-fa612a4198a8\/thumbnail\/620x465\/00c34ec81418125995763833b05d51fd\/poland-ukraine-train-drone-2295255273.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/09\/18\/13c37f47-e9f2-4c83-a690-fa612a4198a8\/thumbnail\/1240x930\/b679b43082f8ce72137165573be1ae3a\/poland-ukraine-train-drone-2295255273.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Passengers reboard their train in Ukraine after being evacuated due to an airstrike alert near the border with Poland, Sept. 18, 2026, amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Ania TSOUKANOVA\/AFP\/Getty<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>On Sunday, a Russian drone struck a passenger train inside Ukraine carrying foreign dignitaries on a visit, including senior European officials and former CIA Director David Petraeus, forcing them to evacuate just a few miles from the border with Poland.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe they didn&#8217;t know that some Americans had been there, or maybe, oppositely, they knew, because I don&#8217;t trust them,&#8221; Ukraine&#8217;s President Volodymyr <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/ukraine-russia-war-zelenskyy-cbs-interview-drones-targeted-plane-twice\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Zelenskyy told CBS News in an exclusive interview<\/a><\/span> this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think that they knew,&#8221; Zelenskyy added, calling it part of a Russian strategy to intimidate himself and other foreign leaders. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Another drone struck a truck at a nearby gas station.

The total number of additional Polish soldiers sent to the border has not been made public.
