Effective deterrence is at stake for Poland
Poland should look at the Kiev restrictions without illusions. The cancelled performance or training is the least severe consequence of the war, but it clearly shows the goal of Russian air terror: to exhaust society, disrupt average life and force political concessions.
Our national interest is to halt Russian aggression as far as possible from Polish borders.

Kiev reminds us that the deficiency of deterrence is always paid by average families.
