« Putin has upgraded nuclear missiles and modernized his nuclear warhead storage facility in the Kaliningrad enclave in recent years . It can annihilate us with atomic bombs myriads of times . But the Russian army is not equipped to fight in a contaminated environment." Thus the Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski to Repubblica. “ The threat of using nuclear weapons has a number of complicated implications, and we should not agonize over this threat .”
Asked whether Poland is ready to send troops to Ukraine, the minister replied: «We should not rule it out . We should leave Putin in suspense as to our intentions." «The Russians - he continues - operate everywhere. We should learn to inoculate our political system, our institutions and our public opinion against Russian manipulation."
According to Sikorski, the rivals of the Pis and the European right are under the influence of Russia : «They are against homosexual rights, they are anti-European, they have the cult of machismo, they improperly exploit the public media to transmit their messages and to favor unity between party and church. These are all characteristic features of Putinism. Pis claims to hate Putin. But ideologically they are very similar." With respect to Belarus, «we will strengthen the border. Not only against illegal immigration, but also against military threats. What we are facing on Poland's eastern border is an organized assault on Europe. They are people recruited and encouraged in Ethiopia and elsewhere to come to Moscow through the Middle East. Then they are shipped to Belarus and then forced to cross the border. Our neighbor is organizing a hybrid war through migrants with the aim of destroying the EU by making it politically unstable."
