Sikorski is clear that it is important that Vladimir Putin and his Russia are defeated within Ukraine’s borders, otherwise the Russian army can appear on Poland’s doorstep, the foreign minister believes.
Comparing Putin to Hitler
– Then Putin will do the same as Hitler did to Czechoslovakia. He wants to mobilize the Ukrainian population and industry in order to continue, he says in the interview reproduced by Newsweek.
It was in March 1939 that Nazi Germany invaded Czechoslovakia. The defense industry in the country then came under German control.

If Russia were to end up in a direct confrontation with Poland and the country’s NATO allies, Sikorski is sure that the giant in the east will be defeated.
– In this situation, Russia will lose. We, the West, are far more powerful than Russia, says the foreign minister, who states that he would not have been surprised if Russia attacked Poland.
