If Russia continues to shell Polish border areas, Warsaw may provide air defense for western Ukraine - Stanislaw Koziej

He shared his opinion in an interview with Onet.

Stanislaw Koziej has no doubt that Russia will withdraw from the war in Ukraine clearly weakened: "Its strategic capabilities will diminish, its position in the international arena will deteriorate significantly, and the standard of living of Russians will fall significantly. In this sense, Russia will lose this war."  

Speaking about the technical equipment of Ukraine and Russia, the Polish general noted that compared to the beginning of the war, Ukrainians have a lot of modern military equipment from the West. In this case, Russia loses because it relies on obsolete Soviet or post-Soviet equipment. However, quantitatively, Russia obviously still poses a serious threat.

Describing the situation with air security, Stanislaw Koziej suggested the possibility of missile defense over western Ukraine, given the proximity of missile strikes to the Polish border.

"We have arguments to provide preventive insurance and inform Russia about it. If it doesn't stop attacking our border with long-range missiles, then day by day we can introduce missile defense over western Ukraine," he said.
