There have been more and more warnings in fresh weeks. German military historian Sonke Neitzel speaks in an interview with “Bilda” about “the last summertime of peace”, British erstwhile NATO commander Richard Shirreff warns against “total war” of Russia against the West, and the Danish peculiar services present a script of a Russian "serious attack on Europe" over 5 years. If you believe safety experts, the situation in Europe is becoming serious.
One possible nonsubjective is Poland. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte warned Russian president Vladimir Putin on Wednesday of the attack. According to PAP Rutte said after meeting with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tuskithat anyone who thinks that they can attack Poland or another NATO associate without consequences makes bad calculations. It must be clear to “Mr Vladimir Vladimir Putin and anyone who wants to attack us,” said the secretary-general. "Our answer will be destructive," said the erstwhile Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
In Poland and the Baltic States, there are concerns on the east flank of NATO that Russia may effort to catch another part of European cakeif he wins in Ukraine. However, these countries are preparing to defend themselves.
— I think such a danger is possible, but I uncertainty there will be a Russian attack on Poland this year “This is Marcel Berni, a military strategist from the national University of Technology in Zurich. “ In my opinion, the fact that the Russians are presently being absorbed in Ukraine is opposed,” adds the expert. This means that Putin cannot afford a war on 2 fronts at the moment.
Shock effect
But if it had happened ceasefires in Ukraine — or even worse, if the Russians had taken over all Ukraine, the situation would have changed, many safety experts believe. Where would the Kremlin troops hit?
— NATO fears Russian attack by slide between Lithuania and Poland “ Bernie says. “Shock Russian attack could cut off the Baltic countries from Poland and divide NATO,” he adds. The pass is simply a 100-kilometre narrow throat between Lithuania and another NATO partners. At the same time, it separates the Russian Exclave of the King from Belarus.
— To accomplish the shock effect, Russia would most likely usage rocket missiles, drones and artillery in conjunction with Electronic War as the first step, continues Bernie. This could be followed by an attack with tanks and ground troops.
Can Russia occupy Poland?
Without NATO support, the situation of Poland and Lithuania would look bleak. They are “dependent on the Nattian air defence systems, anti-tank defence, artillery and air and land forces,” says the expert. NATO states would mobilize their troops for collective defense.
In the case of a Russian attack, it could besides play an crucial function whether the Polish military task “The Tartar East” on the border with the Princess and Belarus has already been completed. The positions of anti-tank defence and drones, as well as physical obstacles specified as concrete blocks, are to safe the border from 2028.
In an perfect situation, the attack could be repulsed. However, in the worst case scenario, the civilian population in Poland and the Baltic States may face “great suffering, demolition and Russian business of its own territory” “ Bernie says.
