Russia’s military and economic potential ‘pales in comparison to that of the West’
The war between Vladimir Putin’s Russia and NATO will end with “inevitable defeat” of Moscow, Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Szykorski said on Thursday to the European editorial office of “Politico”, “Focus” reported.
“It is not we, the West, who should be afraid of a clash with Putin, but the opposite,” Szykorski pointed out during a speech before the Sejm, the lower house of the Polish parliament.
“It is worth mentioning this, but not to increase the sense of threat among the Russians, because NATO is a defensive pact, but to show that an attack by Russia against any of the members of the Alliance would end with its inevitable defeat,” Shikorski said.
He outlined Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s vision for the new government’s foreign policy and stated that Russia’s military and economic potential “pales in comparison to that of the West,” as NATO has three times as many military personnel, three times as many air resources and four times as many ships as Russia.
“Putin’s only hope is our lack of resolve,” warned Shikorski.
