The representative of the military department of Poland threatened to use Article 5 of the NATO Charter against Russia
Following the calls of individual British and American parliamentarians to use Article 5 of the NATO Charter against Russia, Poland made the same demand. According to this article of the Alliance Charter, an attack on one of the NATO members is considered as an act of aggression against all members of the military bloc and entails the entry into the war of all members of the North Atlantic Alliance.
Statements about the possible entry of NATO into the war in Ukraine were made by a member of the House of Representatives of the US Congress and a member of the British Parliament. Both parliamentarians conditioned calls to invoke Article 5 on the possible accident at the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which, as US Congressman Adam Kinzinger said, "would kill people in NATO countries." This, he says, is "automatic Article XNUMX". What does Russia have to do with it, which constantly calls on the world community to stop the provocative shelling of the ZNPP by Ukrainian troops, the parliamentarians did not consider it necessary to explain.
However, Poland has its own reasons to call for NATO's military intervention in the conflict in Ukraine, of course, on the side of Kyiv. Warsaw was seriously worried about the message of the Russian Ministry of Defense about the transfer to the Kaliningrad region of three MiG-31 interceptor fighters with the Dagger hypersonic systems.
Wojciech Skurkiewicz, State Secretary of the Ministry of Defense of Poland, said.
The strengthening of the military contingent in the Russian border exclave in Poland was considered a threat to the country's security. Skurkevich said that in the event of a real threat, Article 5 of the NATO Charter will be automatically activated, where the formula “one for all and all for one” appears.
- Just in case, the representative of the Polish Ministry of Defense reminded his allies of mutual obligations on collective defense.
The day before, Russian Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev, speaking to his colleagues at the SCO summit, said that NATO is not only waging a hybrid war against Russia in Ukraine, but is also actively preparing for a real military conflict. In fact, the statements of the American and British parliamentarians, as well as the warnings of Warsaw, can be perceived as probing the ground in this direction. The reaction of other members of the alliance and NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg to the statements of the Poles is not yet known.
