"International Report". Radosław Sikorski: I hope Putin is not crazy adequate to do this

Radosław Sikorski in an interview with Onet clarifies these opinions. He explains that the American general meant a case erstwhile China escalates the crisis around Taiwan and decides to implement their threats and invade or even set up a blockade on the island.

— Russia, which has already become the vassal of China, is dependent on Chinese technology, Chinese supplies, may be tempted by Chinese leadership to any form of strategical diversion that would bind Western forces so that China would not be alone in its confrontation with the United States, says the head of the MFA.

Zbigniew Parafianovich asks what form Russia might take. Would it be a land war, or an effort to make separatist sentiments in Dyneburg or acts of diversion, specified as arson?

— We're turning into speculation now, but if Xi Jinping had his vassal Putin attack NATO, I hope Putin isn't crazy adequate to do it. Although we know he attacked Ukraine on hyper-optimistic grounds, and now he pays the price. However, I can imagine that specified maneuvers, which we will be dealing with in a moment, namely Zapad, can, for example, be on a much larger scale and with a much more aggressive scenario, says Radosław Sikorski.

Witold Juras asks if this aggressive script involves violating the airspace of the Baltic States to intimidate them or the anticipation that Russian troops will enter the Latvian city of Dyneburg or Poland. — erstwhile they enter Dyneburg, we have a war due to the fact that that's erstwhile aggression opened against NATO. There are also ways that Russia is already testing. We have more arsons, we have political murders, we have attacks on individual institutions, besides Polish. I remind the Polish infirmary in Krakow blocked or trying to disorganize taxation collection in Poland. But besides GPS signal interference, Sikorski replies.

— So it is more than the tanks entering Białystok,” asks Juras.

— I hope the Russian generals, if specified an order were to fail, will tell their commander-in-chief that this would be a disaster for Russia due to the fact that it would be. And that they would not follow specified an order due to the fact that he would be disastrous to them, too, First of all, for them, says Radosław Sikorski.

— But you cannot regulation out specified a scenario?

— If we could regulation out specified a scenario, we would not request the Polish Army,” says the head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs.

Radosław Sikorski: Israel abused its strength

In an interview with Radosław Sikorski there is besides a thread of Israel and the war in Gaza. Witold Juras points out that the current exacerbation of the situation began with Hamas' genocide attack on Israel on 7 October 2023. “The problem is that Hamas’ genocidal attack consumed nearly 1,500 victims. It is only that if I specify killing nearly 1500 with the word genocide, what word should I usage erstwhile looking at what Israel is now doing in the Gaza Strip?. — Do you not think that we should look at Israel a small differently today? And do you not think that we should separate Polish-Jewish relations, which must always be cared for for for moral reasons, from Polish-Israeli relations, or possibly Poland from the Israeli government?

— It's all dramatic and complicated. I believe that Israel has abused, been provoked, but that it has abused, and present it is not known what else it is trying to accomplish and whether what it is doing leads to this goal at all. The number of victims is just besides high. Israel, even erstwhile acting in self-defense, is inactive not exempt from respecting global humanitarian law. And Poland powerfully calls for this,” says Radosław Sikorski.

Witold Juras noted that the erstwhile Israeli Prime Minister assessed his country as committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip. “What is allowed by the erstwhile Prime Minister of Israel is not necessarily foreigners. On the another hand, I believe that Poland must keep moderation. We are a country that has besides experienced business and mass execution and we have our historical ties with Israel. But that doesn't mean we accept everything Israel does. Poland has always condemned illegal settlement in the West Bank. And I remind you, we are a country that has already recognised Palestine many years ago. Literally in these days any countries are considering whether to do it, and we have done it a long time ago. “The Minister notes.

— It is besides a question of whether Israel has obligations resulting from being a state occupying Gaza and the West Bank. Poland considers that yes, Israel is liable for the welfare of these people. And what is the consequence of this care, we all see. No 1 can beat me in condemning Hamas for this criminal and harmful Palestinian action, says the head of the MFA.

Juras quoted the emerging opinions that Hamas might have fulfilled his purpose, for in consequence to what Israel is now doing, the planet begins to turn distant from him.

— This is almost always the actual intention of terrorists to provoke a reaction to any people or parties to gain political advantage. The same can be said for what the United States did in consequence to 9/11. The capture of bin Laden and the withdrawal of the Taliban were justified, but not necessarily going to Iraq, right?’ Sikorski replies. - Returning to Israel. Those starving kids in Gaza don't know what Hamas is. Nobody has the right to origin children to die of starvation, and according to our data, about 100 people in Gaza have already died of starvation, including 80 children. And this is unacceptable,” Sikorski adds.

Investigation of the death of a Polish doctor in Gaza. “Errors arose on both sides”

The leaders besides asked about the current state of investigation into the death of a Polish doctor in Gaza and whether the individual liable for his death could be identified. “We were not relying on the Israeli side to investigate, but on the another hand. We signed an agreement with an global organization that conducts specified investigations. And this organization conducted and presented a study to me, says Radosław Sikorski.

— However, the study showed that Israel was not the only organization to make mistakes in that tragic situation. planet Central Kitchen, due to the fact that we're talking about this case, has made mistakes too. If memory serves, there was no appropriate marking of the car. possibly there was no appropriate prejudice on the part of Israel, and then, if my memory is correct, the convoy went on a different way than agreed, so a renowned organization showed that the mistakes were made on both sides. Israel informed us that circumstantial officers had been held disciplinaryly liable for what happened, reports Sikorski.
