The odds that Moscow will use tactical nuclear weapons in Ukraine are low because Russian President Vladimir Putin knows it “would be politically and militarily suicidal,” Poland’s top diplomat in Washington said.
Polish Ambassador Marek Magierowski in an interview this week accused Moscow of using its energy exports as a weapon and cautioned against believing Kremlin propaganda about still-mysterious recent attacks on Russian gas pipelines supplying Western markets.
In a wide-ranging discussion with The Washington Times, Ambassador Magierowski said the West should increase sophisticated weaponry deliveries to Kyiv amid surging Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and stressed that Poland, which shares a 330-mile border with Ukraine, strongly backs Kyiv’s pursuit of both NATO and European Union membership.
