Shoigu stated that Poland wants to "attack" and "occupy" western Ukraine

Indeed, in Russia, there has been talk about the creation of some Polish-Ukrainian group.

Russian defense minister Serhiy Shoigu stated that Poland plans to "occupy" the western regions of Ukraine.

This is what the Russian minister invented at the ministry of defense collegium on Wednesday, August 9, Russian propagandists write.

"Warsaw plans to create a Polish-Ukrainian alliance ostensibly to ensure the security of western Ukraine, but essentially for the further occupation of this territory," Shoigu stated.

He also mentioned that he saw threats to Russia's military security in the west and northwest due to the approaching NATO borders to Russia.

"A destabilizing factor is the accession of Finland (in the future and Sweden) to NATO. There are also risks associated with the militarization of Poland, which has turned into the main tool of the US's anti-Russian policy," he expressed his concerns.
