POLISH PRESIDENT CLAIMS NATO PREPARING FOR WAR

Earlier, Andrzej Duda suggested that the world had returned to the Cold War era
and urged NATO partners to increase defense spending


MOSCOW, July 16. /TASS/. NATO is getting ready for a military conflict, Polish
President Andrzej Duda said in an interview with the Wirtualna Polska portal.

"In a certain sense - yes. NATO is a defense alliance but as the old saying
goes: 'If you want peace, prepare for war.' The alliance should be so strong
that no one would dream of attacking it," the Polish leader said, replying to a
question as to whether NATO was preparing for war. He added that "the potential
war between Russia and the West will be incredibly close" in the event Russia
wins the armed conflict in Ukraine.

At the NATO summit in Washington D.C., in an interview with Politico, Duda
suggested that the world had returned to the Cold War era and urged NATO
partners to increase defense spending.

The NATO summit was held in Washington D.C. on July 9-11. Its final declaration
noted that NATO still considers Russia the alliance’s main threat. That said,
NATO countries plan on developing recommendations on strategic approaches to
Russia. Additionally, the document urges not to provide any military aid to
Russia in light of the Ukrainian conflict. At the same time, the summit reached
an agreement to provide military aid to Ukraine to the tune of 40 bln euros in
2025.
