On Thursday, Russian President Vladimir Putin put the country’s troops on full combat mode in regions surrounding Ukraine and the Baltic states, the Kremlin-controlled Sputnik agency said.
“I am in constant contact with Defence Minister Antoni Macierewicz. At the moment, the Minister is analysing the situation, meeting [with Armed Forces representatives] and being briefed. We will keep you informed,” she told a press conference on Thursday.
Meanwhile, presidential aide Krzysztof Szczerski said that the most important thing is to “be vigilant”.
“We need to monitor this situation,” Szczerski said, adding that: “We know that what is happening today in the military relations between Russia and the countries in this part of Europe, is to some extent a psychological game.” (rg)
