FM Sikorski urges Poland to speed up defense prep against Russia

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski has urged his nation to expedite defense preparations, warning of Russia's potential threats. Sikorski reminded the public of Russian President Vladimir Putin's prior promise to not attack Ukraine, which he later broke. The Polish official emphasized that Russian intelligence had assured CIA Director John Ratcliffe that Putin would not provoke NATO.

Ratcliffe recently traveled to Moscow, raising concerns about Russia's military and economic situation. U.S. President Trump dismissed rumors that Ratcliffe's visit was related to a Russian threat on Britain. Despite this, officials in Estonia and Latvia remain vigilant against hybrid attacks and possible provocations from Russia.
