According to the Director of the Russian Federal Foreign Intelligence Service Sergey Naryshkin, agitators such as Poland and the Baltic states will be the first targets of retaliatory strikes if NATO provokes the Russian-Belarusian Union State.
The Russian state news agency TASS on the evening of April 15, local time, published the response to reporters by Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Sergey Naryshkin.
Mr. Naryshkin noted that Russia and Belarus are witnessing increased military activity from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) near their borders, while European countries are also escalating tensions around Ukraine.
“That is why we need to act proactively,” Mr. Naryshkin said, stressing: “We are ready for that.”
According to Mr. Naryshkin, agitators such as Poland and the Baltic states need to understand that they will be the first targets of retaliatory attacks if NATO provokes the Russian-Belarusian Union State.
“They should know (they do not realize this at the moment) that in the event of an invasion of the Union State by the North Atlantic Alliance, of course, the entire NATO bloc will be retaliated against, but the first to be affected will be those who support such ideas in the political circles of Poland and the Baltic states,” Mr. Naryshkin said.
Mr. Naryshkin added that many Western countries, including Poland and the Baltic Republics, are hatching plans to sabotage the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory (the Great Victory over Nazi Germany in 1945).
“The situation has reached such a point that in one of the Baltic countries they are planning to destroy the military graves of Red Army soldiers and officers – those who actually liberated those countries from fascism,” Mr. Naryshkin said.
