Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergey Naryshkin made several pointed remarks on the situation in Europe and the Middle East following the 25th joint meeting of the boards of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service and the Belarus State Security Committee (KGB).
Warning of NATO’s military buildup in Poland and the Baltic states, the Russian intelligence chief said, according to TASS, “We see increased militarization of the economy in the Baltic States and Poland, increased military construction is underway, and the mobilization potential of the territory of the Baltic states and Poland is developing. I must remind you that this is exactly how events developed on the eve of World War II. However, the attack on Poland came not from the East, but from the West. It was the soldiers and officers of the Red Army who liberated Poland and brought it freedom and liberation from Nazi occupation.”
