The war could seriously escalate: even the Poles could send soldiers to Ukraine.
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was active on X again. The deputy president of Russia's Security Council reacted on Sunday to Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski's claim that Washington had threatened a major strike in the event that Russia deployed nuclear weapons in Ukraine.
Medvedev wrote that Sikorski "seems to have decided to frighten his own masters."
"If the Americans hit our targets, it means the start of a world war, and a foreign minister, even a foreign minister of a country like Poland, should understand this," wrote Medvedev.
The former Russian president also recalled Polish President Andrzej Duda's comments last month, when he said that his country would be willing to receive American nuclear weapons.
In this regard, Medvedev warned that in the event of a nuclear confrontation , "Warsaw will not be spared and will certainly receive its share of the radioactive ash."
In the meantime, it turned out: the authorities of the Baltic countries and Poland can allow their troops to enter Ukraine at any time, if the Russians are successful in Eastern Ukraine, reports Unian with reference to the German newspaper Der Spiegel.
According to the German paper, at a foreign and security policy conference, representatives of the Baltic states warned German officials about the consequences of Berlin's policy.
Germany refused to allow the Western weapons handed over to Ukraine to be used against Russia.
Their argument is as follows: "if the Russians are successful in eastern Ukraine - because the West only half-heartedly supports Kiev - the situation could escalate dramatically.
In this case, Poland and the Baltic states will not wait for Russian troops to be sent to their borders, but will send troops to Ukraine themselves.
And what this will mean is clear: NATO will become part of the war," the newspaper writes.
