Prez. Steinmeier’s speech returning from #Kyiv: “a sham peace would only increase Putin’s hunger. Moldova and Georgia, as well as our Nato partners in the Baltic, live in fear . . . An unjust peace is no peace — it carries the seed of new wars within it.”

- Polish FM @sikorskiradek presented today at the Parliament the most comprehensive to date outline of the new 🇵🇱 foreign policy. The main theme was secure Poland in strong European Union that will do 100% to support Ukraine together with our Allies. More obsessions in 🧵
- Russian bombing of the #Yavoriv base in Ukraine mere 20km from Polish border was meant as a signal to NATO - “Keep Out!” - we should do no such thing! Instead NATO needs to 1) arm Ukraine 2) provide missile defenses to 🇵🇱🇷🇴 3) Strongly increase NATO presence on Eastern flank 🧵
- Replying to @M_BaranowskiSupplying Ukraine with #Mig29 will likely be seen by Russia as a significant step up in military help for Ukraine. Russia threatened unspecified retaliation. No one NATO country should be put under pressure to do it alone. It shouldn't be matter for only bilateral 🇵🇱🇺🇸 conv.
- Replying to @M_BaranowskiIn order to do it well, we need to do it together - as #NATO. All Allies should be heard, and all Allies should stand behind this decision. (3/8)
- Replying to @Gerashchenko_enReplace Hitler with Putin, and Poland with Ukraine, and we have the situation from February 2022. Familiar story.
- Useful and terrible map of 🇷🇺 attacks in Ukraine - this is NOT a limited attack. Targets hit also on the left bank of Dnieper and in western Ukraine - what’s playing out is a scenario of a very large attack.
- Replying to @M_BaranowskiLastly, Poland and other NATO front line states, need a quick air-and-missile defense support from other Allies. The war is closer, and we certainly don't need a "lost" missile here. (7/8)
- Estonia 🇪🇪 sent military help to Ukraine 🇺🇦 equivalent of 1/3 of it’s national defense budget say President @AlarKaris - „Others should follow in Estonia’s steps” #LennartMeriConference
- Polish 🇵🇱 FM @sikorskiradek at @AEI for the post #NATOSummit speech - “Russia only reforms itself after lost wars” - let’s help Russia reform
