About this listen

Polish prime minister Donald Tusk says the incursion of Russian drones into Polish airspace brings his country closer to military conflict “than any time since World War II”.

But it’s not just Russian aggression causing major headaches for European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen - she's also facing backlash over her U-turn on Gaza, with many calling the latest sanctions on Israel too little, too late. With tensions rising on multiple fronts, the real question is: can a divided Europe stand united in the face of growing threats — or are internal cracks starting to show at the worst possible time?
