If Russia breaks the front, will Poland send soldiers to Ukraine? The Ministry of National Defense denies it
If Russia breaks the front, Poland and the Baltic countries will come to help Ukraine, the German weekly reported. What does the Ministry of National Defense say about this? Reply posted.
The editors of “Der Spiegel” published an article in which they informed unofficially that if Vladimir Putin's army “makes a strategic breakthrough in eastern Ukraine”, “the Baltic states and Poland will not wait for the deployment of Russian troops on their borders,” we read. This would mean that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization would join the armed conflict. Such a warning was to be delivered to representatives of the federal authorities by parliamentarians from the Baltic countries.
The case was recently commented on by, among others, former head of the National Security Bureau – General Stanisław Koziej. Now the Ministry of National Defense, headed by Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, has also spoken.
Clear position of the Ministry of National Defense
In an interview with “Dziennik Gazeta Prawna”, General Koziej asked the public to “be safe when it comes to such reports and see if these leaks are not some sort of provocation.” What would its purpose be according to the former head of the National Security Bureau? “WITHsow confusion among allies,” he stressed.
In a case that received much attention, among others, in Ukraine, the Ministry of National Defense also spoke. “We are not considering the idea of sending Polish soldiers to Ukraine, there are no such plans. We appeal for particular caution regarding the credibility of information appearing in the media,” the ministry said in an interview with Wirtualna Polska.
Expanding air defense, NATO training and transporting ammunition into the country
Recently, the German “Bild” also reported on the alleged idea of creating a coalition of states that would, among other things, aim to: ensure safety in the airspace over the western part of Ukraine. The concept would assume the expansion of anti-aircraft defense. However, in this case the military would focus not on planes, but on drones or missiles belonging to Russia. The countries that would consider cooperation in this area would include, among others: Poland, as well as France and Lithuania.
The West is also reportedly considering training Ukrainian soldiers on the territory of their homeland, which would be handled by NATO instructors, and also discussing transporting ammunition deep into Ukraine or even directly to the front. These ideas are not to be approved by Germany or the United States, “Bild” reported.
