Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski believes Russia

may resort to a “false flag operation” to justify an attack on a NATO country.
He made the remarks in an interview with CBS
News on June 26.

Sikorski did not rule out that such a scenario could unfold

in the next two years.

“I do not rule out that the Russians could organize some

kind of false flag operation on Russian territory to get a pretext to strike
one of the NATO countries,” Poland’s foreign minister said.

He stressed that the international community must make clear

to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin that “we know what he is up to, that he will
not fool us, that this would be absolutely unacceptable, and that we will
defend every inch of NATO territory.”

On June 26, The Guardian, citing Western sources, wrote that

Russia is preparing military provocations in the Baltic states or Poland amid
growing pressure from long-range strikes by Ukraine’s Defense Forces on Russian
cities.

Latvian intelligence said it sees signs that Russia is

preparing military provocations against Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania or Poland.
However, the newspaper’s sources said this would not be a full-scale invasion.

At the same time, Finnish President Alexander Stubb has said

he believes Russia does not plan in the near future to test NATO’s Article 5
through a direct attack on alliance members.

On June 11, Lt. Gen. Christian Freuding, commander of the

Bundeswehr Ground Forces, suggested that Russia could attack Germany by 2029.
