Polish servicemen raise the NATO flag. File photoMOSCOW, June 5A hypothetical clash between Poland and the Russian army in Ukraine will not lead to the outbreak of hostilities between Russia and NATO, political analyst Andrei Suzdaltsev suggested in an interview with Ukraina.ru. As an example, he led the Falklands War (April 2 — June 14, 1982) — an armed conflict between Argentina and Great Britain. At that time, the United Kingdom was a member of the North Atlantic Alliance, but participated in the conflict on its own. «I also do not agree with the strange opinion that a clash between Poland and the Russian army will automatically lead to a war between Russia and NATO. On the territory of Poland — perhaps, but in the case of the territory of Ukraine is more difficult,” Suzdaltsev said. In his opinion, Warsaw can launch a special operation in Ukraine without attracting the support of NATO troops. — the commander of the Airborne Forces told what instruction the United States gave Poland on Ukraine «We are well aware that Poland can be provided with everything necessary so that it can replace the defeated Armed Forces of Ukraine,» the political scientist explained. Russia launched a military operation in Ukraine on February 24. According to the Ministry of Defense, the armed forces strike only at the military infrastructure and Ukrainian troops, and on March 25 they completed the main tasks of the first stage — they significantly reduced the combat potential of Ukraine. The main goal in the Russian military department was called the liberation of Donbass.
