The Russian dictator Vladimir Putin should be put in a situation where he does not know what to expect from Europe, says Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland Radoslaw Sikorski.
Referring to French President Emmanuel Macron's words that he does not rule out anything when it comes to the presence of Western troops in Ukraine, Sikorski said that it is right to put Putin in a situation where he is not sure what the West will do, instead of ruling out certain scenarios in advance.
Asked whether Poland was considering sending troops, he said that the Defense Ministry would not reveal its cards.
"We will not reveal our cards. Let dictator Putin think about what we will do. We spend the largest part of our GDP in NATO on defense - 4 percent - and we can spend more next year," Sikorski emphasized.
Macron's statement
Since this winter, the diplomatic arena has been discussing the words of French President Emmanuel Macron, who said that France does not rule out the possibility of sending its troops to Ukraine.
However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy explained that he had not heard such statements from Macron directly and voiced the possibility of involving Western troops in the defense of Ukraine.
