Vladimir Putin is threatening European countries very seriously. Iskander missiles can reach as far as Berlin. Therefore, Western allies must increase assistance to Ukraine.

This statement was made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland, Radosław Sikorski, as reported by Polskie Radio.

"Putin threatened Poland, Latvia, and Finland. When he threatens a country, he does it absolutely seriously," said Sikorski.

He noted that Western countries very often did not take this seriously enough.

"Now Russian tanks are in Belarus, Russia has also moved nuclear weapons there, and nuclear weapons under Kaliningrad, Iskander missiles, can reach Berlin. We in Poland feel the threat from the physical presence of Russian tanks 250 km from our capital. I am always amazed that in Germany, this issue is not being discussed," emphasized the Polish minister.

Sikorski added that Europe needs to act quickly because Ukraine is under pressure.

"The West is twenty times economically stronger. But Russia leads in the production of ammunition. We need to mobilize our forces. If Americans refuse assistance, we will face a serious dilemma: either replace America, that is, double our efforts, or allow Putin to conquer Ukraine," said the head of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
