I'd wager they're fishing for what Poland's response will be to the missile issue, and seeing how far they can 'push it', whilst still feeling comfortable themselves.

They already know that they aren't going to be on good terms with Poland for a long time so may just be feeling Poland out so they know what they can get away with before the incident escalates too far.
