Putin’s threat to enter Poland, advance on Germany is direct warning — expert

Yurii Romaniuk, the head of the All-Ukrainian public organization Ukraine in NATO, stated this on Espreso TV.

"Amid the war in the Middle East, Ukraine is focused on destroying Russian invaders on its territory and defending its territorial integrity, enlisting the support of EU countries, NATO, and allies from the Ramstein coalition. Our NATO partners are already promising that this year Ukraine will receive not 20 billion euros in aid, but 35 billion. They are even increasing their contributions to joint assistance so that Ukraine can resist, defend itself, protect its land, and destroy the Russian aggressor," Romaniuk noted.

According to the head of the All-Ukrainian public organization Ukraine in NATO, Putin's statement today—that he is ready to enter Poland in order to reach Germany in transit—is a direct threat. What exactly he plans to do with Germany will become clear to the Germans themselves over time. This is a clear signal. And if Trump claims that Putin has no intention of attacking NATO, Putin himself is openly declaring: his goal is Europe, NATO, he seeks to take them over.

"When the American president says that sanctions against Russia should not be imposed, but on the contrary, that we should trade with Russia, lift sanctions, and develop economic ties, this is absurd.

This means helping Putin become stronger, taking the side of Hitler, as the Soviet Union did in 1939–1941 by trading with Nazi Germany and supplying it with strategic resources for the war against Great Britain. In the same way, today President Trump is essentially helping Putin, 'handing him bullets,' so that he can fight against Ukraine, destroy Ukrainians, and seize our territories," Romaniuk emphasized.

• On June 20, Vladimir Putin stated that the Russian Federation does not demand Ukraine's capitulation, but seeks to force it to recognize the occupied territories as Russian.
