Poland assessed the risks of Putin's attack on the country


Putin's attack on Poland is seen as likely in Warsaw.
Poland "will not be surprised in the least" if Russia decides to attack the country. This opinion was expressed by Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski in an interview with BILD.
He pointed out that his country has already become a target for Russian aggression for the first time and recalled that Russia has attacked Poland many times in 500 years of European history.
So we will not be surprised at all. Russia is losing because we, the West, are much stronger than Russia. Today Ukraine is not fighting on its own. Unlike in the past, we will not fight alone," he said.
The head of Poland noted that Germany does not rule out an attack by Russia, and Berlin calls a clear timeframe - 4-5 years, when Russia will gain strength to invade Europe. Sikorski emphasised that these are not just numbers for European politicians, but that they are preparing for a possible force scenario.
Putin responds only to pressure, to hard arguments of brute force," the Polish foreign minister added in an interview with BILD.
He pointed out that if Putin's army wins, he will mobilise Ukrainians in the conquered territories and throw them into battle with the Europeans.
And then Putin will do what Hitler did to Czechoslovakia: he will take the industry and people in Ukraine and mobilise them to continue the war. It is better to stop Putin in Ukraine, 500-700 kilometres away from us," Sikorski added.
