Former U.S. CIA Director Petraeus Narrowly Escapes Russian Drone Strike at Train Station Near Poland-Ukraine Border

HeadlineSep 14, 2026

In Ukraine, at least five people were wounded in a Russian drone attack in the city of Odesa Sunday. Meanwhile, Russia accused Ukraine of killing two Russian servicemen at the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine. It comes as another Russian drone hit a train near the Ukraine-Poland border shortly after former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and top European security officials had passed through. Former U.S. CIA Director David Petraeus was at the Ukrainian train station at the very moment a Russian drone struck a passenger train.

This is the EU’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas.

Kaja Kallas: “I think about that it is clearly meant to scare Western countries from supporting Ukraine, from going to Ukraine to show support. That was meant. It was clearly a message to the Western world. I think the question for us is: What do we take from that message?”
