Edited. by Stanislav Stremidlovsky [REGNUM] The Polish question suddenly sounded loudly today during a meeting of the Russian Security Council chaired by Vladimir Putin . Opening it, the Russian president gave the floor to the director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergei Naryshkin. As Naryshkin stated, referring to the incoming information, “ official Warsaw is gradually coming to the realization that no Western assistance to Kiev is able to support Ukraine,” and “the issue of Ukraine’s defeat is only a matter of time.” In this regard, the Polish leadership is becoming more determined to maintain control in the western territories of Ukraine by deploying its troops there. In particular, it is planned to significantly increase the strength of the combined-arms Lithuanian-Polish-Ukrainian brigade, which operates under the auspices of the so-called Lublin Triangle. In turn, the President of Russia stated that "the Western curators of the Kiev regime are clearly disappointed with the results of the so-called counter-offensive." According to Putin, neither the supply of Western weapons nor the dispatch of thousands of foreign mercenaries and advisers, who " were actively used in attempts to break through the front of our army, " help the Kiev regime. The latter directly concerns Poland, which has become the main logistics center for the supply of Western weapons to Ukraine, as well as secretly sending Polish mercenaries to the trenches and, probably, also regular military and intelligence officers. And although the Polish press is trying to saturate the information field with the "opinions" of various "experts" promoting the "successes" of the Kyiv regime, sometimes alternative judgments break through. The other day, in an interview with the Wirtualna Polska portal, the former commander of the Ground Forces, General Waldemar Skrzypczak, commented on the situation at the front in the following way. He called it “difficult,” "he progress of the Ukrainian offensive is limited," according to Skshipchak, "The Russians are recovering"{, and “in a month or two they will be able to stop the counteroffensive of the Ukrainian army.” But what's next? The matter is unlikely to be limited to simply stopping the “counteroffensive”, options are possible further. And in this situation, it was not by chance that Putin, in his speech at the Security Council, turned to “ some lessons of the history of the 20th century ”, namely, to the tragedy of the Civil War, which Poland took advantage of by annexing some historical Russian provinces and imposing on Moscow the conclusion of the Riga Treaty in 1921 with the actual recognition of the rejection of the territories. But the Peace of Riga did not become a salvation for the leaders of the Ukrainian People's Republic and the West Ukrainian People's Republic. The chairman of the Directorate of the UNR, Symon Petliura, paid off Western Ukrainian lands to Marshal Jozef Pilsudski in exchange for a promise to provide military assistance. Warsaw took the territories, but the UNR did not save them. Petlyura went into exile and ended his life in Paris under the bullets of the Odessa anarchist Samuil Schwartzburd. Warsaw may try to repeat the feint with the “appropriation” of Western Ukraine a hundred years ago today. As the President of Russia emphasized, the Kiev regime is ready to go to any lengths and is ready to trade everything - both people and land. Such " traitors are even today ready to open the gates for foreign masters and once again sell Ukraine ." This suggests the option that either the current Ukrainian central administration or some Western Ukrainian regional leaders will turn to Warsaw with a request to send troops in order to create a buffer state at least in the western part of Ukraine and solve the important - in the case of Poland - problem of keeping millions of potential refugees in place, preventing them from breaking through to the West. Formally, the Polish authorities will declare their adherence to the principle of the territorial integrity of Ukraine to the last. The question is whether they will dare to probe the Belarusian direction. As Putin stressed, “unleashing aggression against Belarus will mean aggression against Russia,” to which “ we will respond with all the means at our disposal.” But as for the Kiev regime, if they “take it away, as traitors usually do, hand over something, sell something, pay off the owners with something - this, I repeat, in the end, is their business, we will not interfere in this,” said the Russian president . As well as the business of the Poles themselves, whether they want to become the new "cannon fodder" of the West to replace the Ukrainian one, which has now become scarce. In any case, Moscow is tightening control: Putin has instructed Naryshkin to closely monitor developments. This implies increased attention to the movements of Polish, Ukrainian and Lithuanian military units and the activity of intelligence services in the eastern direction in general and especially on the borders with Belarus in particular, when the activities of Warsaw, Kiev and Vilnius will be assessed in terms of preparing a possible invasion of the Lublin Triangle alliance into Western Ukraine. More from regnum.ru US Colonel McGregor spoke about Russia's ability to surround Kharkiv In the near future, Russian troops will destroy the last manpower of the Ukrainian military near Kharkov, ex-adviser to the head of the Pentagon, Colonel Douglas McGregor, said on his YouTube blog. “I won’t be surprised if the Russians surround Kharkiv in August. As soon as this happens, they will fortify under the city and wait for the attack of the last reserves of the Ukrainian army. They will be crushed by the Russians in the same way as in the southern direction of the front,” the American officer is sure. McGregor believes that as soon as NATO leaves the republic and stops destabilizing the situation near the borders of Russia, the Ukrainian conflict will end. In this case, Ukraine should become a neutral state and abandon plans to join military blocs, he concluded. As IA Regnum reported , a retired NATO officer, Stavros Atlamazoglou, said that a counterattack by the Russian Armed Forces in eastern Ukraine would strike at the Armed Forces of Ukraine and stop their offensive. Russian troops organized a powerful and large-scale defense, which slowed down the advance of Ukrainian brigades equipped with Western weapons, the military stated. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, on July 21 alone, Ukrainian troops lost up to 190 people in two directions - Yuzhno-Donetsk and Zaporozhye. Two tanks, six armored fighting vehicles and two vehicles were destroyed. In addition, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost the 152mm Msta-B howitzer, the American M777 artillery system and the British FH-70 howitzer. |
