Why It Matters
Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Radoslaw Sikorski made evaluations about Russia's moves at an event in New York.
According to the news of Poland's public broadcaster TVP World, Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Radoslaw Sikorski, in his speech at the event he attended in New York, said, "We are receiving information that Russia is preparing something big this year. We do not disclose the sources, but there are many of them."
Stating that Russia could use a possible operation as a justification for a new mobilization process across the country, Sikorski said, "I believe that Putin needs a justification for mobilization. He organized a false flag attack and told the Russian people, 'We are under attack, and therefore we need to declare mobilization.' "They can say," he claimed.
CALL TO NATO: 'LET'S BE READY TO DETERRENT'
Claiming that the Baltic countries with Russian minorities may face the "risk of escalation of tension" by Russia, Sikorski said that NATO should be ready to deter possible aggression.
Sikorski emphasized that it would be "crazy" for Russia to launch a full-scale attack on a NATO country, and noted that he expected Moscow to resort to more uncertain methods, which could make it difficult to implement NATO's Article 5, which stipulates mutual defense.
