Russia openly threatens Poland. In the event of a direct military confrontation, Polish statehood would allegedly cease to exist within two to three days, says Russian president's aide Nikolai Patrushev, according to Russian Interfax.
According to him, if Poland enters military action against Russia, Moscow is ready to use "the entire arsenal of available forces and means."
"Polish statehood will cease to exist within two to three days," Patrushev said.
Russia made this statement in response to remarks by Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski about Warsaw and its allies' military superiority over the Russian army.
"The head of Polish diplomacy is clearly assessing our country's military might like an amateur, unwilling to understand that during the special military operation, the Russian armed forces are by no means using their full potential," Patrushev said.
He added that Warsaw does not want to hear the Kremlin's claims that Russia allegedly poses no threats and that there are no grounds for conducting military action against the EU.
On September 14, Sikorski said that air superiority would allow the European part of NATO to act against Russian targets without involving US forces.
The Polish minister noted that in the event of Russian aggression against NATO, thanks to air superiority, EU aviation could destroy half of Russia's oil refineries "faster than Ukraine."
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova sharply reacted to the Polish Foreign Minister's statement about NATO's air superiority over Russia.
She called the Polish minister's words "Russophobia of the brain" and claimed that he was allegedly talking about the possibility of Poland's quick victory over Russia.
