Top Polish Diplomat Refuses to Rule Out NATO Troops To Ukraine

Polish Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski was in Washington this weekend and while there refused to rule out the sending of NATO ground troops to Ukraine. Poland is not ruling out sending troops to Ukraine, but it will not “show its hand” to leave Putin “wondering what NATO’s next steps will be, he told BBC World,” reported Euractiv. When asked about French President Emmanuel Macron reiterating that he would not rule out sending troops to Ukraine, Sikorski did not explicitly say that Poland would certainly not send its troops there. He advocated for maintaining an aura of uncertainty to keep Putin guessing about possible Western responses. “It is good to make Putin wonder what we will do and not always reassure him that we won’t do certain things,” he said.
