President of Poland Andrzej Duda BERLIN, Feb 8The troop movements currently seen in Europe have not occurred since World War II, Polish President Andrzej Duda said Tuesday in Berlin, where he arrived to meet German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron as part of the Weimar Triangle. “We have an unprecedented concentration of Russian troops along the border of Ukraine, and we also have a large Russian concentration in Belarus, where exercises are taking place, which should continue until February 20. We all ask ourselves what will happen next. What will be the effect of this movement of troops, which the world and Europe have not seen since the Second World War,” Duda said. “Our big goal is to ensure peace for our societies and peoples, as well as to protect international law and protect the territorial integrity of countries that are not members of NATO, are not members of the European Union, but are our ally. I am now talking about Ukraine,» he added. Kiev and Western states after These days, they are constantly talking about the alleged intensification of «aggressive actions» by Russia near the borders of Ukraine. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is moving troops within its territory and at its own discretion. According to him, this does not threaten anyone and should not worry anyone. Russia has repeatedly rejected accusations by the West and Ukraine of «aggressive actions», stating that it does not threaten anyone and is not going to attack anyone, and statements about «Russian aggression» are used as an excuse to place more NATO military equipment near Russian borders. The Russian Foreign Ministry previously noted that Western statements about «Russian aggression» and the possibility of helping Kiev defend itself against it are both ridiculous and dangerous. At the same time, the United States is deploying an additional military contingent of several thousand soldiers to Europe. 1,700 of them will be stationed in Poland.
