Russia’s attack on Ukraine – watch the special program on TVN24
– This is an unrecorded moment, because it is the end of geopolitical history after 1989, but it is also in the shape of the end of the liberal accountant, the World War II clock began – the order of the journalist and Pulitzer laureate Anne Applebaum with Piotr Kras.
– This is great for a European country and you can already see that Putin does not respect any borders, no regulations, interstate customs and this is the moment when the West will have to attack and by no means has the law, strategy of Russia and authoritarian countries in the world – she assessed .
Applebaum: Putin’s satisfaction is not only with Ukraine
Anne Applebaum admitted that it is important for Poland and for Poles, because “we can see that Putin does not see the border for everyone himself, he does not want to have Western sanctions, that it is possible to achieve difficulties, whether economic or economic”.
– His initiation is yours. He doesn’t mean the Russians, but the place and place in history. The idea that government is a pure state and no longer exists for people. In thought in terms of how, before the war, the champion of the state is the champion and champion of a nation of fame for a leader – a nation.
In the opinion of the US president, “Putin’s ambitions are much greater than that of Ukraine”. “He wants to rebuild the Soviet empire,” said Joe Biden.
The journalist assessed that it cannot be assumed that Vladi Putin does not want to agree that he has the borders of NATO countries. – Putin’s goal may be not only Poland, not only the Baltic states, but even Germany – she said. Anne Applebaum mentioned that a few years ago during the Munich Security Conference of the Russia Conference, Sergei Lavrov said during his speeches that German reunification was contradictory.
– we all laughed, because it is not fun, but I already wwwwwatem that it was not a joke. They have such ambitions to take their place as the Soviet Union once did. Putin remembering himself how a great Soviet base was well built.
Anne Applebaum points out that Vladimir Putin during his speeches in which, in the introduction to Ukraine, he remark that “allusions are making a nuclear bomb.” – It seems to me that his appetite will not only be satisfied with Ukraine, if he gets it – she added.
Necessary to change the sale of Europe to the army
The journalist pointed out that in order to defend Polish or German houses, or where necessary, “starting in Europe is different”. – That national defense is not a secondary thing that can be entrusted to some unimportant ministers. To be at the center of our attention, to have to vote again, NATO NATO we are given whether we are ready and we are already prepared whether we are.
– I think that even in Poland we are not so well prepared. Right now, Mom’s government, which treated the military as secondary, irrelevant. Attempts were made to politicize the army, good generals were thrown out who wanted their own. This is not state thinking. Thinking is very very dangerous now – Anne Applebab’s party.
The situation of Russian business is not Putin’s problem
When asked about the possibility of helping Ukraine in the clash with Russia, note that the USA and Poland have already sent weapons. – I hope that we are still doing and we will continue to do – future. The journalist also has a focus on help, intelligence, and also a fourth interest.
– Of course, more can be done. I know that in Washington he talks a lot about cyber attacks, whether we are going to attack the restructuring systems or the Russian ones. As far as I know, the decision has not been made yet, but it is also a weapon that people consider – she added.
Anne Applebaum saves her that “does not apply to Putina.” – The situation of Russian business is not his problem. For him it is all the same, but cyber attacks, sales can have an impact on strength – weapons.
Applebaum: Putin wants the Russians to disgrace Ukraine
The journalist admitted that she had a bloody, cruel repair to admit to Russia. – Putin said that Ukraine has no rights, not the state, that Ukrainians have rights. This is genocidal language, very strong and brutal. The word “denazification” which is obviously absurd. The President of Ukraine is a Jew who lost his family in the Holocaust. That this is by no means a Nazi country, but he would say it, because the Russians must lead Ukraine – ha crops.
– The Russians do not see the enemy in the village. Even during the invasion of Crimea, they did not see Ukraine in Ukraine, so Putin to create an atmosphere where Ukraine must be Russia, but that is Nazi, not only spectacular on his part – added Anne Applebaum.
When asked about China’s activities to the chin of the Russian service: “It is not in the interest that the economy handles the problems. They want to sell their belongings and the ID that governs the service from execution.” But actually look at the reaction of the West and the decision that it is actually dependent on what is actually – it is actually going to be done.
