It's a slippery slope. The General comments on a possible threat

In his conversation with Interia, the Brigadier General of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland stressed that he did not have any information that would in any way make the thesis about the increased reinforcement of Russia close the Suwałki Pass. – From the point of view of disinformation activities carried out by Russia, specified actions Information about concentrating troops in the pass is something that makes you think – he said.

As General Dukaczewski emphasized, the slide pass "is applicable for the possible launch of any military operation". – It must be taken into account that Russia has quite a few problems with the actions it leads in Ukraine and besides with the actions which Ukraine is taking towards them – he said, adding that it was carried out by Kiev attacks inside the Russian Federation, are a surprise to her.

– possibly in the disinformation package these reports (about Moscow's reinforcement close the Suwałki gulf – ed.) have specified a deterrent effect. There may be information from military reconnaissance, intelligence that points to specified concentration of troops, and that would be disturbing. – the General told Interia. He added that if there was a signal from a reliable source, e.g. from Polish units or intelligence NATOthat specified mobilisation takes place, then we are able to measure the scale of concentration of troops.

Gen. Marek Dukaczewski points out, however, that it is worth considering the consequences, among others, for the Baltic countries or Poland, which can lead to specified misinformation.

Princess circuit like Norfolk

– Military designation is effective and effective adequate to If anything happens, I'm certain that information is. I am convinced that the intelligence services would gather information if something were to happen – calms the General in his conversation with Interia.

In an interview with Interia, the general pointed out that what is disturbing is the fact that Russia borders NATO through this region. “We are aware of what is happening, we observe it very closely,” he said.

The general's calming down. “Russians care most about this”

When asked whether Poland has adequate protection in the Suwałki gulf in the event of an increased threat, our interviewer estimated that as much as he knows the functioning of the General Staff of the Polish Army, he is convinced that "all possible variants, including the intention to usage the Suwałki gulf for any aggressive initiative, were considered‘.

– NATO consequence options are prepared and analysed not only by us but besides within the North Atlantic Alliance – added Gen. Dukaczewski. His analysis of media reports, talking about defence Moscow in this area, it may indicate that we are dealing with a misinformation “calculated for certain consequences”.

The general besides referred to the government's proposal to talk about military training for women and men. As he stressed, the emergence of information that there may be a threat from the Suwałki gulf in connection with the military assembly, “starts to make synergies with what is presently being discussed here”. – This causes public concern. These Russians are the most afraid – creating chaos in countries, which are seen as opponents – assessed Gen. Marek Dukaczewski.
