Polish President Andrzej Duda said in an interview with Sieci that Russia is an “aggressor in Ukraine” and continues to pursue a very aggressive policy.
“Russia is an aggressor in Ukraine. She did not stop this aggression, she still occupies the Crimea and the areas around Donetsk and Lugansk, ”the Polish leader quotes wPolityce.
According to him, Russia “supports the so-called separatists,” according to the head of state, it is aggressive towards other countries.
“She shows strength, even breaking airspace. Therefore, it cannot be said that this is a country that deserves trust and peacefully pursues its interests, ”he added.
Earlier, Duda said that he did not consider Russia an enemy of NATO. Following the alliance’s summit, he pointed out that Russia is a neighbor with which NATO does not always agree, considering some actions unacceptable.
In autumn 2018, the former first deputy head of the OSCE monitoring mission in Ukraine, Alexander Hug, announced that he did not consider Russia an aggressor.
As Russian leader Vladimir Putin noted, everyone understands that Russia is not going to attack anyone, and the “Russian threat” is a fiction.
Russia has repeatedly emphasized that it is not a party to the Minsk agreements and the intra-Ukrainian conflict and advocates an early resolution of the crisis in Ukraine.
Crimea became the Russian region after a referendum held there in March 2014, in which most residents spoke out for reunification with Russia.
