Poland Warns Russia: "We Know What You Are Planning, Do Not Do It"

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has confirmed that Poland is preparing for a possible limited military provocation from Russia, describing the upcoming months as critical. Tusk cited evolving dynamics in the war in Ukraine as a key factor influencing this heightened state of alert.

Adding a stark warning, Polish Vice Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski directly addressed Russian President Vladimir Putin. "We know what you are planning and do not do it!" Sikorski declared at a press conference, emphasizing that regimes of this nature often resort to provocations as a pretext for conflict, drawing a parallel to historical actions by Nazi Germany.

We know what you are planning and do not do it!

Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz highlighted that Russia's "cognitive warfare" through hybrid operations, sabotage, and diversion attempts is a daily reality. He noted that arrests demonstrate the intensity of Russian pressure, aimed at sowing discord within Poland and between Poland and its allies. Prime Minister Tusk reiterated that while he does not intend to cause alarm, the changing nature of the war in Ukraine makes the near future particularly significant.

I have no intention of scaring anyone, but the coming months, due to a certain change in the nature of the war in Ukraine, can be truly critical.
