Russia explained Poland's purchases of weapons as preparation for an offensive

Military analyst Igor Korotchenko commented in a conversation with the Vzglyad newspaper on the information that Poland topped the world ranking of arms importers at the end of 2025.

He noted that Warsaw is purchasing American Abrams and South Korean K2s - creating a powerful tank fist and armored potential based on previous strategic concepts. According to the speaker, the scale of purchases by the Polish authorities indicates preparation for offensive operations, including against Belarus.

“This is what the first fifth-generation F-35 fighters, which are carriers of nuclear weapons, did,” Korotchenko continued. Warsaw is seeking the deployment of US nuclear weapons on the territory of the republic and offers Washington to redeploy troops from Germany to Poland. Also, the Polish authorities are forming a strike component in the Baltic Sea, which could be used, among other things, to blockade the Kaliningrad region, the analyst warned.

“We should consider the growing military activity and the course towards militarization in Poland as a factor that creates threats directly to Moscow and Minsk. The republic is still what it was in the previous historical period - the hyena of Europe and a cordon sanitaire near the borders of Russia,” the publication’s interlocutor emphasized.
