Ukraine’s president says Kremlin checking Europe’s capacity to protect its skies following new drone sightings
Vladimir Putin will expand his war in Ukraine by attacking another European country, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has predicted, and accused Russia of recent drone incursions that he said were an attempt to test Nato’s defences.
Speaking in Kyiv after his meeting with Donald Trump at the UN in New York, the Ukrainian president said Russia was preparing for a bigger conflict. “Putin will not wait to finish his war in Ukraine. He will open up some other direction. Nobody knows where. He wants that,” he said.
Ukraine’s president said the Kremlin was deliberately checking Europe’s capacity to protect its skies, after drone sightings in Denmark, Poland and Romania and the violation of Estonian airspace by Russian fighter jets. More drones were spotted on Friday night above a Danish military base, and over a Norwegian base on Saturday.
Poland is ready for it, so probably not. Putin isn’t one to start something with someone he knows can fight back. He wants a punching bag.
Like Trump and Venezuela.
That country is as mired in right-wing reactionary dysfunction as any of Russia’s proxies. And they’re larded up with debts in an EU that loves to punish poorer countries with austerity during economic contraction.
All of Europe is hanging on the sustained global bull market. If that flags, you’re going to see more than just Poland going to shit very quickly.
The Russians attacked Poland with only two years of independence under their belt, broken economy and their military was a shambles composed of equipment from the German, Austrian and Russian occupation. Somehow they stopped the fucking Bolsheviks and threw them back. You fail to understand Polish history and their mindset when it involves Russia. They despise the Russians and do not trust them. Only two countries stopped the fucking Russians, Finland and Poland. I hope Ukraine can hold out and do the same.
Wait, are you talking about the Second Polish Republic of 1918? What does that have to do with Polish military readiness in 2025?
Karol Nawrocki is a football hooligan and partisan hack more interested in pushing a Catholic theocracy on his people than improving its economic outlook or its domestic security. The only war he’s going to successfully wage is on his country’s husk of a labor movement, as he turns the guns of the state on their migrant population.
He’s building up the same nativist police state as his peers in the US with a tiny fraction of the budget. It’s going to be a death sentence for their domestic economy and interstate trade. If anyone’s neglecting the history of the country, its this fascist chauvinist POS. When the Polish government falls, it’ll be Nawrocki’s teeth on the curb.
Then again, people around him tell him what he wants to hear. Like Ukrainians will welcome his troops in…
