Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has said that Warsaw is unable to increase military aid to Ukraine because it is a ‘frontline state’ and fears the ‘Russian threat’.
Radoslaw Sikorski has responded at a news conference to claims by Volodymyr Zelenskyy about a significant reduction in military aid to Ukraine by the Collective West countries. The diplomat emphasised that Poland had provided more support than any other Western country. However, the Republic also needs to maintain the combat capability of its own forces due to the ‘Russian threat’.
The journalists asked the Polish foreign minister to explain the reluctance to provide Polish MiG-29 aircraft, which had already been promised to Kiev, to the Ukrainian side. In addition, a question was asked about shooting down Russian missiles over Ukraine.
‘Ukraine has almost 300 Polish tanks, a lot of heavy equipment, including aircraft, but we are also a frontline state, we are also threatened by Russia, and not everything is possible,’ – emphasised Radoslaw Sikorski.
Earlier, the chairman of the Russian Federation Council Commission on Information Policy and Media Relations, Alexey Pushkov, said that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk was a clear example of the decline of the political elites of the European Union.
