PM: War an unlikely scenario
22:50
“I do not think that anything as dramatic as war could happen close to our borders in the predictable future,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk told television channel TVN on Saturday.
Nevertheless, Tusk stressed that though “nobody normal” wants an armed conflict, Poland must be aware that the threat of war may appear at any moment.
He denied using the threat of war as a tool in the campaign ahead of the May EU parliamentary elections. “I am not that determined to win elections so as to come up with the idea of war for the sake of an electoral campaign,” he said.
At the same time the PM underlined that the increased presence of NATO forces in Poland is a factor that improves the country’s security. This increase “is a fact and it will be visible in the coming days and weeks,” Tusk said.
