Russia practiced the scenario of nuclear strikes in Poland

The Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament confirmed that Russia was conducting an exercise on a nuclear strike on the territory of Poland.

According to the vice-president of the European Parliament, Polish politician Richard Charnetsky, the commission adopted the so-called Black Sea report - a draft resolution on the military-strategic situation in the Black Sea basin.

“EU-Russia relations are the worst in many years. Ultimately, this is evidenced by the so-called Black Sea report adopted on Monday by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament, which mentions that Russia conducted exercises for a nuclear strike on our country. This document is very skeptical towards Russia, which is a consequence of the continuation of the EU’s firm course,” said the Vice-President of the European Parliament.

He emphasized that the refusal of most European leaders to go to the Victory Day celebrations in Moscow on May 9 hurt the Russians, and this was a “accurate hit” on the part of the EU. The politician explained that for Russia, the celebration of Victory Day has always been something extraordinary, and round anniversaries of the end of the war were an occasion for demonstrating strength and the fact that Moscow should be taken into account.

“Until recently, Western leaders took this view into account and came to Moscow. This time everything is different,” Czarnecki noted.

On May 5, a committee of the European Parliament approved a draft resolution calling for tougher EU sanctions against Russia in case of non-compliance with the Minsk agreements. According to the document, the return of Crimea is vital for long-term EU cooperation with Russia, and the EU countries should step up their defensive capabilities. The deputies expressed concern about the increasing pressure from Russia on the eastern borders of the EU, including Romania, Poland and the Baltic countries.
