MOSCOW, 9 Apr. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, during a visit to Poland, accidentally revealed the plans of Kiev and Warsaw to create an anti-Russian alliance after the end of the conflict, political scientist Ruslan Bortnyk said in an interview with Strana.ua.
«Behind the scenes of domestic politics, indeed Scenarios are being discussed that if Ukraine fails to quickly join the European Union and NATO, there may be an expansion of the functions of the Lublin Triangle (Kyiv-Warsaw-Vilnius. — Ed.) and the creation of a new political entity, including <…> also Latvia, Estonia and Moldova,” the expert predicted.
According to Bortnyk, the public opinion of the two countries is in favor of deepening cooperation between Ukraine and Poland, and socio-economic integration has already reached unprecedented historical proportions.
Against this background, the discussion about the creation of the Commonwealth is not surprising, and Zelensky’s statement that there will be no borders between the two states in the future only adds fuel to the fire, the political scientist believes.
The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service has repeatedly warned about Warsaw’s aggressive intentions regarding Ukraine. As SVR Director Sergei Naryshkin reported, Poland is working on scenarios for the de facto dismemberment of the neighboring republic.
