Polish FM Sikorski warns that a victorious Putin might mobilize Ukraine’s industry and people for war, similar to Hitler’s use of Czechoslovakia, potentially escalating to a direct threat against NATO countries including Poland.

In an interview with BILD published on 28 April 2024, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski warned that if Russia prevails in Ukraine, it might lead to an attack against NATO nations.
“German politicians seem to be satisfied that Russia will only be ready in four to five years and by then Germany will be ready. But the point is that before Russia comes to Germany, it has to reach some other countries,” Sikorski told BILD implying Poland or the Baltic states.
When asked how likely is Russia’s attack on Poland, Radosław Sikorski noted the Moscow has attacked Poland multiple times over the last 500 years, so “we would not be surprised at all.” However, he believes, this time Russia would lose because the West is far more powerful now.
“Today, Ukraine is not fighting alone. Unlike so often in the past, we would not fight alone,” Sikorski added.
If victorious, Putin will mobilize Ukraine for further war
Regarding the Russo-Ukrainian war, Sikorsky highlighted the dual choice for the West: either expelling the Russian army from Ukraine or facing its presence at the Polish border after it wins:
“We have a choice: either we have a defeated Russian army outside the borders of Ukraine or a victorious Russian army on the border with Poland. And what Putin would then do is what Hitler did with Czechoslovakia, he would take the industry and the people in Ukraine and mobilize them to continue,” the Polish Foreing Minister told BILD, adding: “It’s better to stop Putin in Ukraine, 500 to 700 kilometers east of here.”
