The head of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Radoslaw Sikorski, noted that Russia is not invincible and that Western partners can help Ukraine win the criminal war unleashed by the Kremlin.

Points of attention

  • Russia is not invincible and can be defeated with the help of Western partners.
  • Confiscating frozen assets of the Russian Federation can support victory over Russia.
  • Collaboration within an international alliance of democracies is essential to prevent the spread of instability and win the conflict with Russia.
  • Radoslaw Sikorski emphasizes the importance of learning how to play a winning game of escalation to defeat Russia.
  • It is crucial for Western partners to act decisively to stop Putin and protect Western values and ways of life.

How Sikorskyi sees the possibility of the West and Ukraine defeating Russia

Sikorsky warned that if Western partners do not stop Kremlin dictator Vladimir Putin in Ukraine, he may win.

However, the head of the Polish Foreign Ministry expressed confidence that the West is able to help Ukraine achieve victory.

Contrary to its crazy propaganda, Russia is not invincible. She lost some of her wars. The Kremlin can be stopped and even defeated - we simply forgot about it. Ronald Reagan said that his strategy for the Soviet Union was simple, if not simplistic: "We win and they lose." I like this approach, - emphasizes Sikorsky.

According to him, in order to win over Russia, it is necessary to learn again how to play a winning game of escalation.

How should Western partners act to defeat Russia

In particular, Sikorsky proposes that the EU confiscate all 300 billion frozen assets of the Russian Federation.

Putin has already written them off, he does not expect to return them. But he also does not think that we have enough strength to take them away. So far, we are proving that he is right, - the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland is convinced.

He emphasized that Putin continues to regret the collapse of the USSR and is now determined to get revenge by challenging Western values, security and ways of life.

Our task is to prevent a wider conflict, but also to win. Together, as part of the international alliance of democracies, we can do it, Sikorsky assures.

He warned that if the Russian Federation wins, instability will spread not only to the countries of Europe, but also to the whole world, developing a global coalition of dictatorships.

Ukraine's EU accession. Hungary blocks the start of negotiations

Hungary again hinders Ukraine on the European stage
Source:  RMF 24

As journalists managed to learn, the team of Hungarian leader Viktor Orban blocked the opening of the first cluster of negotiations on Ukraine's membership in the European Union, "Fundamentals", which concerns the rule of law.

Points of attention

  • Warsaw has already presented the conditions for opening the cluster, which it must send to Ukraine.
  • The Hungarian authorities are demanding another plan from Kyiv to protect national minorities.

Hungary again hinders Ukraine on the European stage

A European diplomat told reporters about the current situation, speaking on condition of anonymity.

According to the latter, on February 14, Poland officially presented a document with the conditions for opening the "Fundamentals" cluster, which they plan to send to Ukraine soon.

What is important to understand is that we are talking about the preparation and adoption of two roadmaps.

One of them should concern the plan of reforms in the area of rule of law, and the other — public administration reform. The text of the letter received broad support from EU countries, with the exception of one delegation, and unanimity is required for its sending.

A journalist insider reported that only the team of pro-Russian politician Viktor Orban opposed the adoption of this letter.

Against this background, the Hungarian authorities began to demand that Kyiv also present a plan to protect national minorities.

An anonymous source warns that this could lead to a blockage of the opening of the first cluster of talks in April.
