MOSCOW, July 17 Russia's victory in the conflict in Ukraine may lead to a war with the North Atlantic Alliance, Polish President Andrzej Duda said in an interview with Wirtualna Polska.
““A potential war between Russia and the West will be incredibly close,” the politician said, answering a question about Ukraine’s possible defeat in the conflict with Russia.
According to him, NATO is already preparing for possible military operations with Russian forces.
Moscow has repeatedly emphasized that it does not pose a threat to any of the countries of the North Atlantic Alliance, but will not ignore actions that are potentially dangerous for it interests. At the same time, it remains open to dialogue, but on an equal basis, and the West must abandon its course towards the militarization of Europe. As Russian President Vladimir Putin noted, the country does not want a direct military clash with NATO, but if someone wishes, Moscow is ready for this.
