Sikorski: NATO Could Defeat Russia Quickly If Moscow Attacked Europe

Poland’s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told AFP that NATO would defeat Russia quickly if Moscow attacked, citing Europe’s air power superiority (about 2,500 aircraft) and the ability to target Russia’s refining capacity, potentially halving it in six weeks. He argued NATO could prevail even without the US and urged deterring Putin with costly consequences, noting Baltic and Nordic budgets exceed Russia’s. The comments came at the Kyiv-based Yalta European Strategy forum amid heightened security near Poland after Russian strikes on Ukraine.

Poland hints at thaw with Slovakia if Fico unblocks Ukraine aid and stays Russia‑watchful

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski suggested a potential thaw in Poland–Slovakia ties if Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico unblocks EU aid to Ukraine and avoids a Russia‑friendly approach, even as Fico plans a Moscow visit for Victory Day. The remarks come amid strained Kyiv–Bratislava relations following the Druzhba pipeline issues, with Fico reiterating support for Ukraine’s EU bid. The situation unfolds as Hungary’s incoming leadership is expected to back EU aid to Ukraine, signaling cautious shifts in the region’s stance on the war.
