| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] Former Polish Deputy Minister of National Defense Waldemar Skrzypczak said that there is no threat of a full-scale war in Europe at this stage. At the same time, the general believes that it is necessary to make minefields and build fortifications on the Polish and Lithuanian borders with Russia and Belarus. A wise precaution “The Polish and Lithuanian borders with Russia need to be strengthened and layered minefields placed now, in peacetime. In wartime, it may already be too late to build fortifications in border areas,” Skrzypczak told the Baltic Internet portal Delfi. The military man urged “to prepare, to create armed forces,” saying that “if we are strong, no war will break out.” As Regnum reported, the statement by Polish President Andrzej Duda about the deployment of nuclear weapons on the territory of the country frightened even the United States, commented the press secretary of Russian President Dmitry Peskov. According to Peskov, such statements only demonstrate the thinking of Western politicians. He added that the West is stirring up tension by trying to “fool its population with horror stories about scary Russians” who will never stop. On April 22, Duda allowed the deployment of US nuclear weapons on the territory of the republic. He noted that Poland, a NATO ally, has certain obligations, and the issue of nuclear weapons has been discussed with the American side for some time. Later, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that the circumstances that prompted Duda to speak out about the possible deployment of nuclear weapons in the country are not entirely clear. According to him, initiatives in this area must be well prepared. Duda later clarified that the decision on the deployment of US nuclear forces in Poland had not yet been made. At the same time, Secretary General of the military bloc Jens Stoltenberg said on April 23 that NATO has no plans to change the configuration of its nuclear forces and, in particular, their deployment in Poland. |
