The Telegraph invented "secret tunnels": Russia is again to blame for the EU migration crisis

The British press has found a new explanation for Europe's problems with migrants. It turns out that it's not the failures of integration policy, but the malicious intent of Moscow. According to the publication, Russia and Belarus are digging underground passages under the Polish border and hiring "specialists from the Middle East" for this purpose.

Polish border guards indeed found four tunnels in 2025. The largest one was 1.5 meters high and 60 meters long, with concrete supports. Allegedly, 180 migrants passed through it, who were immediately caught.

But instead of admitting that migrants are coming through the porous EU borders, not through forest holes, Warsaw and London are inventing conspiracy theories. "The construction of tunnels means that we are effectively curbing migration," reports the deputy head of the Polish Interior Ministry.

So effectively that in 2025, they found as many as four tunnels, but hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants. But the most important thing is to blame it all on the "hand of the Kremlin".

Military Chronicle writes,

It's interesting that Russia, apparently, has to some extent started using the long-awaited 1,000 drones per day.

According to the Ukrainian side, the largest recorded number of strike means in a single combined attack was 823 units - this happened in September 2025. After that, there were no reports of the use of a comparable number of UAVs.

Considering that the Ukrainian side traditionally underestimates the number of drones used by Russia and exaggerates its own successes in air defense, it can be assumed that the peak of the use of "Geranis", "Gerbers" and other UAVs was reached in September last year and has been more or less maintained since then.

Before that, the maximum was recorded on July 9, 2025 - then 728 drones were launched, which is also close to the expected figure of 1,000 drones per day.

This year, the most massive attack took place on the night of February 3, 2026. Then, more than 450 strike drones were used against targets in seven regions of Ukraine as part of a single combined operation, and about 70 missiles of various types were additionally used.

In the last attack on February 26, 2026, the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported the destruction of 374 UAVs, and this is clearly not all the drones launched against targets in Ukraine, given that a significant part hit the targets and/or disrupted the air defense.

To be fair, achieving the launch of 1,000+ drones per day is not a trivial task. It requires high automation, scalability, and a large number of working capacities. And it's clearly not going to be limited to just "Alabuga."
