Putin Warns Poland ‘Aggression’ Toward Belarus Is Attack on Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Poland that he would treat any “aggression” toward ally Belarus as an attack on his own country, following Warsaw’s decision to send troops to reinforce its eastern border in response to the presence of Wagner mercenary forces in its neighbor.

“Aggression against Belarus will mean aggression against the Russian Federation,” Putin said in televised comments during a Security Council Meeting Friday. “We will respond to this with all the means at our disposal,” he said, referencing a long-established union state between Belarus and Russia.

The threats, which could exacerbate tensions between Russia and Europe, aren’t the first the Kremlin has leveled against Poland, which is one of Kyiv’s biggest supporters in the war with Russia. Poland is a member of NATO and has shown no intention to take unilateral, unprovoked military action.

Poland: "Didn't you help the nazis invade us?"

[salad]

Poland before WW2 = 388, 634 km², Poland after WW2 = 322, 575 km². This is this 'gift from Stalin'.

[Chad-ik]

Anyone getting tired of these senseless wars already

[janrunetraa]

Putin should learn som history. Stalin never gave the poles anything, but death and tragedy.

[MD-ewxg]

we should just put these politicians in the ring and sort their shit out. i am tired of seeing people die for no reason.

[tnmapls]

Bro really just accused Poland of wanting to do exactly what he is doing rn

[rickylambert]

17 million Ukrainian civilians quickly fled across Poland when Russia attacked. They are taking so many of them into their homes helping them to survive. Good neighbors!

[marts]

Imagine every single soldier on the planet simply putting down their guns and just walking home...what would the handful of leaders do then...? the same probably.

He's killed 600, 000 of his people and can't even manage the large territory he has. What a psycho.

[timchapman]

Did he really just mention a tyrannical dictator’s generosity

[Tygydyk]

Being born in Poland and fighting communists in late 70’s through 80’s I used to be proud of my history, country and catholic upbringing. I still am. But I am ashamed of my leaders supporting the most corrupt nation in our hemisphere. Ukrainian Nazis murdered over 100, 000 poles as well as pacified Warsaw Upraising under german leadership. My country is playing with fire.

[MGKing-]
