Political scientist Evgeny Mikhailov said the Polish general was deliberately escalating the situation. Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces, General Wieslaw Kukula, said that Russia was allegedly preparing for a conflict with NATO.

Russian President Vladimir Putin, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, noted that Russia has no interest in a conflict. At the same time, sending regular troops of other countries to Ukraine will put the world on the brink of a global conflict, the head of state warned.
