Polish Foreign Minister: Russia is more dangerous than ISIS

"Russia is more dangerous than Islamic State. By all evidence, Russia’s activity is a sort of existential threat because this activity can destroy countries," Poland’s foreign minister Witold Waszczykowski told reporters during a visit to Bratislava, Slovakia on April 15, where he was speaking in a debate on the future of NATO at the annual Globsec security forum. According to the Polish Foreign Minister, ISIS is a very serious threat, but it is not an existential threat for Europe. Witold Waszczykowski said that the East and South are the two main directions of threats and challenges to NATO. The minister said that only by taking decisive action is the Alliance able to deter potential aggressors. Meanwhile, the Czech defence minister, Martin Stropnický, urged strengthening NATO cooperation but added that Russia "should not be isolated." He added that Russia was actively “testing the defensive capabilities of Nato in the Baltic region,” where a number of countries have come under pressure. The 2016 Warsaw NATO Summit of will be held at the National Stadium in Warsaw on July 8-9, 2016.
