War is raging in Ukraine. It is currently considered unlikely that this will spread further west. But an attack on Poland would have far-reaching consequences for NATO – Germany would also be affected.
Kyiv/Warsaw – While Russian President Vladimir Putin is intensifying attacks in Ukraine, fears of a possible spread of the war are growing in the West. A rocket fire near the city of Lviv in the western part of Ukraine, not far from the Polish border, showed that the danger is real. Should there be an “accidental” attack by the Russian armed forces on Poland, the consequences would be serious: Poland is a member of NATO and the EU. A shelling of Poland or even a Russian invasion would mean an attack on NATO territory. This would trigger an alliance case.
While fighting continues in Ukraine, NATO launched a long-planned military maneuver in Norway on Monday. According to official figures, around 30,000 soldiers, 200 aircraft and 50 ships from 27 nations are involved in the “Cold Response” exercise. According to official information, the maneuver is not related to the Ukraine war, but the military alliance is sending a clear signal to Russia in the tense situation. * kreiszeitung.de is an offer from IPPEN.MEDIA.
