Sikorski about the threat from Russia


The Minister besides stressed that the key component of the paper would be the provisions recognising Russia as the main threat to the Alliance's security. Sikorski pointed out that although Russia invests in armaments, being "in war mode", it itself long-term destroys its future, due to the fact that "it will sooner or later have a gigantic economical hangover due to the waste of hundreds of billions of dollars for this pointless war".

He besides compared Russia's situation to Iran, talking about "years of collecting militias" and developing a atomic programme that will yet have no effect.

– We're not at war, but we're in a crisis. This is why our government proposes, among others, to shorten procedures for the construction of weapons factories. If Ukraine can plant 200 weapons factories in 3 years, then we should operate much faster than before – he said.

According to the minister, Ukraine gives time to the remainder of Europe to prepare for a possible threat. He believes that within 10 years, Moscow will not be able to attack us. – Unfortunately, any countries wasted any time. We must not waste these next years," he said.
