"Not Crazy": Poland's Ministry of Defense told whether Putin would attack NATO (video)

According to him, the Russian Head of State is to some extent a rational politician and continues to make mistakes. One of them was in February 2022, when the Russian army illegally invaded Ukraine. "Unfortunately, it happens that dictators, and Putin there are, receive false data from their people and do not have the ability to verify these data because they have created such a system.

But it is not crazy and will not risk attacking the territory of NATO, the territory of the Baltic countries , especially given that the military presence of NATO on the eastern flank is growing and will intensify, "Pavel Zalevsky said. At the same time, the representative of the Polish Defense Ministry added that the strengthening of the eastern flank is not provocative, so Vladimir Putin or his subordinates do not have arguments for narratives that NATO is preparing to attack Russia.

Currently, the countries of the event have to do everything in order not to give the Kremlin the opportunity to win in Ukraine, Pavel Zalevsky continued. He believes that NATO shows the enemy that he is going to defend every piece of land of those states that are part of the Alliance. There should be no doubt about this. "This is all the logic of this union and those obligations. Therefore, the attack of Russia on NATO countries is impossible.

Instead, we must do everything that Russia does not win the war against Ukraine, and Ukraine is defended and could be part of the event, because Ukrainian wants it. And this is part of Ukrainian identity. It cannot be defeated and Putin will not win, "he added. We will remind, on December 26 it was reported that Lithuania allows the possible aggression of the Russian Federation against NATO, if the event decides to stop helping Ukraine.
