If Ukraine loses, Russia can attack NATO countries - the Polish Defense Minister

The official reported that in 2024-2025, Warsaw would be in full readiness to create a rapid European Union response forces. Viceremier, Polish National Defense Minister Vladislav Kosinyak-Kaysh stated that the situation in the world is intense and the Polish side involves the possibility of attacking Russia. He said this in an interview with the Polish edition of SuperExpress. "We should not get used to the war, we should not forget about it," he added.

The Minister said that on Thursday, February 1, the Danish Viceremier and the Minister of Defense visited Poland, where they signed a memorandum on closer cooperation. "For example, Danes pass 19 F-16 fighters to Ukraine. More and more countries are involved in this assistance, but it should be even more intense. This is a matter of our security," Kosinyak-Ka Kaysh emphasized.

In addition, the Polish Defense Minister spoke about an informal meeting of national defense ministers and officials of the North Atlantic Alliance, which took place in Brussels last week. According to the Minister, it was about the importance of intensifying Ukraine's support, bilateral supplies of weapons. "Poland is part of the coalition of the countries that most support Ukraine, giving it the most ammunition. It was our obligation, and we will fulfill it," he assured.

Kosinyak-Kaysh also reported that Poland was involved in the rapid deployment of NATO forces and in 2024-2025 the Polish units will be in full readiness and are available for the creation of the EU's rapid response forces. According to him, the situation in the world is "very serious", and this applies not only to Ukraine but also to the areas of the Red Sea and the Pacific.

With regard to the scenario of events in the Russian-Ukrainian war, the Minister stressed that it suggests any scenario, but most seriously treats the worst-for which Ukraine can lose Russia. "We need to be prepared for each scenario, so we draw an audit, draw conclusions, fill in the gaps, for example, weapons. Large purchases are very important, but for me, the individual excitation of the fighters is equally important," Kosinyak-Kahysh stressed.
