Сікорський закликав НАТО підготувати відповідь на «смертельну гібридну атаку» Росії

Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told the Financial Times in an interview, Ukrinform reports.

According to Sikorsky, the likelihood of human casualties is increasing as Russia intensifies operations aimed at destabilizing European societies and creating chaos in them.

At the same time, he acknowledged that the Alliance would have to decide how to respond to such actions.

“The question is what exactly to consider an attack — a cross-border attack. When will we decide that the Russians have gone too far? After all, this is the decision that we have to make.

It is noted that Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty — the collective defence clause — can be invoked in the event of an armed attack on a Member State.

Context

Among other things, Sikorski declined to elaborate on how NATO should respond to a lethal “hydrous attack” by the Russian Federation, but noted that Poland and Estonia had already resorted to the application of Article 4 of the Alliance's charter — request for high-level consultations — after the violation of airspace by Russian drones and fighters, hinting at the need for more decisive action.

It was used only once: it was done by the United States after the terrorist attacks carried out by Al-Qaeda on September 11, 2001.
