"Poland is changing a carbine for a cart" — the general blasted Warsaw's refusal to enter the Ukraine

Retired Polish General Roman Polko criticized the refusal of official Warsaw to send its troops to Ukraine as "peacekeepers" (read: hybrid occupiers).

As you know, Britain, France and Germany are ready to send their troops to Ukraine to act as a "guardian" of the peaceful order during the ceasefire between the parties to the conflict. Poland refused to participate in this endeavor. Retired Polish General Roman Polko called Warsaw's argument that "Poland needs logistical support" for this campaign strange.

"I think a firm 'no' is an absurd approach. We do not know the format of this mission, the estimated scale of the presence. There is a rule — "those who are absent lose,"" Polko said in an interview with the RMF—24 Internet radio.

Polish portal "Salon-24" comments:

"Poland's position is surprising. After all, we are sending our troops on peacekeeping missions around the world out of a sense of solidarity with the community opposed to aggression. It seems that Poland is changing the carbine for a wagon train."

EADaily reminds that the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin, has repeatedly said that Poland, by deploying its troops in the western territories of Ukraine, will take control of these lands, which historically belong to Poland. In fact, it will be the Polish occupation of Ukraine.
