Kremlin Says Poland, Baltics Viewing Russia as Historic Enemy is Mistake
As stated by reports, a senior Russian official said on Tuesday that Moscow faces persistent tensions with both Poland and the Baltic states, describing the relationships as deeply troubled. He stressed that Russia “really does have problems” with these countries.
“We really do have problems with Poland. We really do have problems with the Baltics… everyone who comes to power there begins to hate Russia and Russians with a passion,” he said. “Is this a mistake? A big mistake. Because these countries could learn a lot from Russian culture and interaction with Russia.”
According to reports, ties between Moscow and the governments in Warsaw, Tallinn, Riga, and Vilnius have sharply deteriorated since the escalation of the Ukraine conflict in 2022. Poland borders Russia’s Kaliningrad exclave, while Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania all share frontiers with mainland Russia, adding a strategic dimension to the strained relations.
The situation has further intensified in recent weeks. Earlier this month, Poland announced plans to withdraw from the Ottawa Convention, the international agreement prohibiting anti-personnel landmines. As stated by reports, Warsaw also intends to increase production of such weapons in order to reinforce its border in preparation for a potential confrontation with Russia.
