Has Vladimir Putin become even more dangerous? “There’s Nothing to Lose”

On Friday, February 16, the Russian prison service announced the death of Alexei Navalny. – Maybe it’s a coincidence, but it happened during the Munich Security Conference, to which President Putin was invited, and now he is condemned there – said Radosław Sikorski in the “Kropka nad i” program on TVN24.

The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that Alexei Navalny revealed the scale of corruption of the entire Russian elite, and Putin in particular. – Navalny was not just a symbol. He was a man who could reliably tell Russians that another Russia was possible. A Russia that lives in peace with Ukraine, that invests in its nation, in its state, and does not try to implement some crazy ideas of an aging dictator, said Radosław Sikorski.

Has Putin become even more dangerous? Sikorski comments

Can it be said that Vladimir Putin is now even more dangerous than before the attack, a few days before the second anniversary of the start of full-scale Russian aggression against Ukraine? – I guess so. He was accused as a potential war criminal by the Tribunal in The Hague – said Radosław Sikorski. – He has the right to have a subjective belief that he has nothing to lose when it comes to the international arena – he added. Let us recall – in March 2023, the International Criminal Court reported that both Vladimir Putin and the Russian Commissioner for Children, Maria Lviv-Belova, are suspected of participating in the process of unlawful deportation of children and adults from the occupied territories of Ukraine to Russia.

The head of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs was also asked whether it is necessary to prepare for a scenario in which war may break out in a NATO country. – We should prepare to deter Putin, because now what Tusk explained to the leaders of other countries is evident: weakness provokes, strength deters. We need to build our strength, emphasized Radosław Sikorski.
