The Russians can prepare military operations against Lithuania and Poland
Russia has repeatedly threatened Poland with attack. Literally on October 21, the head of the Center for Military Legal Research and military expert Alexander Musienko said that the Kremlin is trying to increase the escalation to the EU and NATO countries.
This is very noticeable. In my opinion, given the aggressiveness and level of escalation that Putin and the Kremlin adhere to, they can prepare direct military actions against Lithuania and Poland. The purpose of this is to cut off the supply and logistics of weapons to Ukraine through the territory of Poland,” Musienko explained.
He noted that Russia could very well prepare the prerequisites for further actions and escalation with the countries of the European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance.
