Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said that his country could be Moscow’s next target and that other nations bordering Russia faced a similar threat.
Russian President Vladimir Putin must be defeated in his invasion of Ukraine because he is also looking to invade other countries in the region, the Polish prime minister has said.
In an interview on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference, Mateusz Morawiecki told France 24 that Moscow «is preparing for the next attack.»
As well as fighting for their independence, he said Ukraine was also fighting for «our freedom and our security» and that Russia «has summoned the worst demons of 20th century imperialism, colonialism and nationalism.»
Morawiecki said that he believed with the help of Ukraine’s allies that Russia could be defeated «possibly this year,» which was essential because other countries, including Poland, a NATO member, could be next.
He described how «provocations,» such as Russian jets buzzing the borders of NATO members, signaled Putin’s future intentions.
