Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, in an interview with The Guardian, stated that Poland supports Ukraine's strikes on military targets within Russia. Western countries should stop limiting themselves in providing aid to Ukraine.
Sikorski stated that Poland supports Ukraine's right to strike military targets inside Russia. The Polish Foreign Minister believes that the West should stop constantly limiting what it does to support Ukraine.
The Polish minister also expressed skepticism about Russia's threats to use nuclear weapons.
"The Americans have told the Russians that if you explode a nuke, even if it doesn't kill anybody, we will hit all your targets [positions] in Ukraine with conventional weapons, we'll destroy all of them," Sikorski said.
