Polish expert: Even after another enlargement, NATO will not be able to influence Russia's position on Ukraine

24

Further expansion of the North Atlantic Alliance to the east in the form of the admission of Sweden and Finland into it will not change Moscow's goals in Ukraine, General Bohuslav Samol, director of the Institute of Military Strategy of Poland, believes.

According to the general, Russia continues to adhere to the political goals set at the beginning of the military operation, as evidenced by active hostilities in the east and south of Ukraine.



Samol believes that Moscow intends to annex the Donbass and the southern regions of Ukraine to Russia in the future. He also expressed doubts that hostilities could end before autumn.

According to the Polish expert, the main goal of the Kyiv authorities at the moment is the desire to disrupt the holding of a referendum on joining Russia in Kherson and regain control at least over the territories located to the west of the Dnieper. Samol considers these goals to be correct, but he is not sure that Kyiv will have the strength to achieve them.

As for the potential clash between NATO and Russia, the Polish general noted that in accordance with Article 5 of the NATO Charter, the organization will not take any military action against Russia, unless, of course, it attacks one of the countries of the alliance. Accordingly, Samol added, NATO cannot change Moscow's position and force it to stop the military operation.

Russia knows perfectly well that there can be no military intervention by NATO, and there will not be

- said the Polish general.

At the same time, the Polish general did not say anything about whether the constant pumping of Ukraine was NATO intervention weapons, the transfer of intelligence data, the participation in the conflict of NATO military instructors.

    It was precisely the expansion of NATO that influenced Russia's position on Ukraine.

    NATO can bomb Serbia, Libya, Iraq, but for more, there is neither strength nor courage, only a long tongue and impudence

    Well, yes ... and I want to, and it pricks and "mother" is not poured.
    One thing is clear, the current ruling elites are not for their countries, the peoples are trying! so this is not uncommon, but now it’s a direct concentrate, some kind of nonsense and other things like that.

      Hi Vitya soldier
      The Polish general simply said out loud what many people think about, but are afraid to say. For the truth-womb, either the order will grab it, or it will lose its chair.

        hello Pasha soldier
        In general, the general didn't say anything new that others/some did.
        They, in social networks, have such a srach going on ...
        All the same, a refrigerator, cold batteries and water, expensive electricity, this is an argument that makes many people rethink their priorities.

                    And anyway, recoil or boomerang, always comes back and ... the options are different, but usually very painful, if not fatal at all.

      DENYUZHKI! That's what interests them, not the people and the country. But this speech of the general as a signal that NATO will not interfere openly ... it will play dirty tricks on the sly.

        Around profit, personal acquisitions, everything always revolves ... politicians serve the interEsy of specific, not poor guys whose Wishlist has overshadowed the remnants of reason.

      Yes, no matter whose side speaks, Poland is the hyena of Europe.
      The general needs to be told about their intrigues that they are building both Russia and Ukraine.
      And then they pretended that they were on the right side

    You can influence now. To do this, you only need:
    1. Declare a no-fly zone for the Russian Federation in Ukraine
    2. Start striking similarly to Haychars, but to the full depth and massively
    3. Crack on the main airfields of the NWO KR Tomogavk.

    And the expansion of NATO has nothing to do with it ..... it formally gives NATO the right to intervene if the Russian Federation attacks the Finns or the Swedes.

    NATO cannot change Moscow's position and force it to stop the military operation ... I'm not sure that Kyiv will have the strength to achieve them
    Even in Poland, permeated with Russophobia from top to bottom, the general expresses sound thoughts, but apparently wants to continue the war and provide military assistance to Kyiv.

    BU is a NATO structure, NATO intervenes and prepares for direct war. And they have no other choice.
