The warning comes amid soaring tensions with the Nato-member country after Moscow claimed it has removed a Polish flag from a memorial site commemorating the killing of thousands of Poles in the Soviet Union.

Russia's defence ministry says its troops have killed "up to 80" Polish fighters in "precision strikes" in the eastern Donetsk region.

It said in a statement: "Up to 80 Polish mercenaries, 20 armoured combat vehicles and eight Grad multiple rocket launchers were destroyed in precision strikes on the Megatex zinc factory in Konstantinovka".

And the mayor of Smolensk, where the Polish flag was removed Andrei Borisov, confirmed the saying: "There cannot be Polish flags on Russian monuments.

"Even less so after the frankly anti-Russian comments by Polish political leaders.

"The culture ministry of the Russian Federation made the right decision by removing the Polish flag. Katyn is a Russian memorial."

Meanwhile, tensions between Russia and the West have reached a boiling state after Lithuania's announcement to ban sanctioned goods crossing from the Russian mainland via its territory to Kaliningrad.

As a result, Poland has called on Nato backup in the Suwalki Gap the stretch of land that separates the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad from Belarus.

Speaking at a news conference in Brussels, the country's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said: "We are going to seek the reinforcement of this corridor... in our talks with our partners from NATO.".

I hope I am wrong... When Russia invaded Georgia I predicted the next stop was Gdansk. I have connections to both.

[Williams]

New Nazism ala Russia.

[DesertRhino]

A guy named Putin was the first Russian leader to say it was a Soviet mass murder. He released the murder order signed by Stalin that everyone before him hid. He had state TV broadcasters show the film “Katyn” which was a full honest telling.

He was waiting to host the Poles at a commemoration of the Polish officers when the Poles crashed yes presidential plane.

But the Polacks started pushing crank theories that it was an assassination and kept on with their BS. Eastern euros are idiots who live in the past and so will always be a petty and small people.

Polack jokes didn’t just fall outta the sky one day. They happened for a reason. They are basically German without the organizational skills.

Obama called it a “Polish Death Camp”

[17th Miss Regt]

I think I’ve seen references to “Auschwitz, a Polish concentration camp”.

Yes. Historical ignorance or a serious level of malevolence.

[Cathi]

Russia really picking up the tempo.

Operational Armed Forces🇺🇦
Current and operative news of the Armed Forces of Ukraine

- Russia resumes launches of Iskanders from the territory of Belarus and for the first time uses long-range Tu-22m3 bombers from the airspace of this country. Part of the occupiers’ missiles were shot down by air defense means of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, - said in a statement the command of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

On the night of June 25, Russian troops fired more than 50 missiles of various types at Ukraine: air, sea and ground bases ...

(Souvlaki Gap)???

Was Otto Kor Wrecked unfamiliar with the Suwalki Gap?

Or, perhaps just Hungary?

[lodi90]

LOL. It seems our local Putinists have forgotten it was Russia that invented fake news.

[mac_truck]

I understand they're also installing an S-300 battery in Severodonestsk to better counter Ukie artillery.

“”Russia says it won’t invade Ukraine” “

Had they invaded by then? If not, how could it be fake?

Obama called it a “Polish Death Camp”

---

You know, the press kept on about what a really intelligent guy Obama was/is. For such a smart guy, he sure got a lot of simple things really wrong. ‘Corpseman’ comes to mind as well as the ‘Austrian language’. Yet they burned Dan Quayle for far less.

Trump walks gingerly down a slick ramp and it’s 25th Amendment time; Biden falls off a stationary bike and everything’s fine.

[Arcadian Empire]

Warmongering globalists want millions of people of European heritage to die.

[BobL]

So these Western-based journalists quit RT...like I said, RT doesn’t allow Fake News.

By the way, please try to find a FAKE NEWS story, not a TRUE STORY on what the Russian government said a day before the invasion.

[Lurker]

“Katyn is a Russian memorial.”

It sure is. It’s a memorial to the thousands of Poles who were brutally murdered by Russians.

In the same spirit as Russia saying they won’t be the first to use nuclear weapons in a war.

100% true they will never be the first.

WE were in 1945...

[BobL]

“In the same spirit as Russia saying they won’t be the first to use nuclear weapons in a war. 100% true they will never be the first.”

They don’t need to...they’ve got more than enough conventional weapons to win against anyone at this time (things may change with China, though). We’re pretty much cleaned out, thanks to the Neocon War in Ukraine. And the rest of the world never hand any.

Also, it is the UNITED STATES that won’t join Russia on the no-first-use pledge...

[Palio di Siena]

Neocons love using the word communist on everyone who opposes the new world order.

I think you may have missed my whole point.

Will Poland step up to the plate and "take on" the Russian Bear all by themselves? Without nukes ? Without the tacit backing of NATO and the US ?

Are the Europeans still deluding themselves that some will deal with Russia, some will bark like dogs and deal with Russia, some will hold their noses and deal with Russia, and the rest will try and ignore the Big Bear in the room?

Europe and the U.S. have already blinked. China, Brazil, India (huge hungry thirsty needy populations) are buying all the food and oil they can, at cut-rate prices. Constant impending "defaults" are constant and impending, and Russia and the ruble sail on (perhaps only in the short-term).

Laughable "sanctions" only harm the West and especially the US. The only certainty for Europe is to be cold and hungry this winter. And for the U.S. to continue destroying itself just to poke the Bear.

If Russia is willing and able to pay its debts in its own currency and/or Gold/oil, and the Western banking system refuses this payment, did the default happen? And if it does, as long as other countries are buying what Russia is selling, well, the West can eff right off.

But as long as the Democrats/FJB can ride the Russia Russia Russia trope to hide their utter and malicious failures, well, I only see Russia profiting and winning, both in Moscow and Ukraine.

LMAO, ain’t that the truth. I’m ready to deport these people back to their primitive ancestral lands if they don’t quit trying to drag us into their petty disputes with Russia. They want to usurp American blood and treasure in pursuit of some ethnic agenda. Screw that.
