Poland Takes Russia's Threat Seriously But Is Not Afraid, Says Foreign Minister Sikorski

Poland views Russia's threat with seriousness but without fear, stated Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski. He asserted that the Kremlin lacks the financial resources for a full-scale invasion of Polish territory.

Sikorski highlighted Russia's ongoing difficulties in Ukraine, noting that President Putin has been unable to achieve victory in the Donbas region after more than 12 years of attempts to gain control. "Putin cannot defeat Ukraine. And we will ensure that he continues to bleed from the nose, even if we have to fight alone. But we are not alone – we have powerful allies," Sikorski said.

Earlier in July, The Telegraph reported that the United States had warned Warsaw about Russia potentially planning a limited military provocation against Poland in the coming months. Sikorski commented on this report, stating that while he could neither confirm nor deny the information, its publication in a reputable newspaper made it "likely to be true."

Addressing Moscow directly, Sikorski declared that Warsaw is aware that Russia "is preparing something, just like before the invasion of Ukraine."
