Polish observer: Russia has not yet begun to fight, and we are already losing
One of the most discussed topics on the air of Polish political talk shows, as well as on the pages of the Polish media, was the topic of a “probable military conflict between Russia and Ukraine”. This topic has been discussed on an ongoing basis over the past few weeks, or even months. And politicians and political scientists of the most different ideological “coloring” speak out on the topic.
Polish columnist Jerzy Haszczyński in Rzeczpospolita gives his thoughts on this topic:
Russia has not yet begun to fight, and we are already losing.
According to Haszczyński, the West showed a complete lack of unity "in the face of military challenges from Russia."
A Polish expert specializing in the so-called "Eastern policy" points out that even now there is no clear position among the NATO countries regarding the admission of Ukraine to the alliance, as well as about anti-Russian sanctions. The “sanctions” issue is shared by the EU countries, some of which are less and less willing to support anti-Russian economic measures, motivating their position by their unwillingness to break off contacts with Moscow and lose economic benefits.
Jerzy Chaszynski:
Meanwhile, Putin says: I will decide what NATO can and cannot do. He requires you to agree to this in writing. He made a bet, setting in motion his big military machine, and not only near the borders of Ukraine.
According to a Polish observer, "the Russian president says that if the conditions are not accepted, then Russia can declare itself in various parts of the world."
Haszczyński writes that he found an article from 10 years ago, which says that "Russia is allowed too much, up to threats." In the same place, according to a Polish observer, it is said that many NATO countries do not want to argue with Russia so as not to irritate her.
