Sergey Naryshkin, Russia's foreign intelligence chief, expressed threats against Poland and the Baltic States in response to perceived NATO aggression. He stated that if NATO threatens Russia or Belarus, these regions would be the first to suffer damage. Naryshkin's comments come amid rising NATO military activities near Russian borders, aggravating tensions. His remarks also reflect concerns regarding Poland's military ambitions, particularly its plans to acquire nuclear capabilities and set up antitank mines, which he views as aggressive. This rhetoric illustrates Moscow's broader apprehension about NATO's intentions in Eastern Europe.
Naryshkin stated, 'They should understand, although they do not yet understand, that in the event of aggression from the North Atlantic Alliance... damage will certainly be inflicted on the entire NATO bloc.'
He added, 'Poland and the Baltic republics are particularly aggressive, at least in words, they are constantly rattling their weapons...' highlighting the perceived threat from NATO.
Naryshkin emphasized, 'Poland plans to install about two million antitank mines along the borders of Belarus and the Kaliningrad region,' indicating rising tensions.
Naryshkin's comments signal that Moscow perceives an increase in military activity from NATO as a direct provocation, aggravating the current crisis on the European continent.
