Recent
Russian troop exercises simulated an attack on Poland and the
suppression of an uprising by the Polish minority in Belarus, claims Wprost magazine.
Wprost
writes that it has seen documents which show that troop exercises near
Poland’s border in September portrayed Poland as "a potential
aggressor."
The magazine also claims that 30,000 Russian troops
practiced not only defensive manoeuvres: they also rehearsed landings
on the beaches of Kaliningrad - a Russian controlled corridor linking
it with the Baltic Sea - which was used to simulate Poland’s northern
coast.
Russian aircraft also practiced the use of nuclear weapons in the attacks, says the magazine.
Law
and Justice MP Karol Karski is to table parliamentary questions on
Russia’s war games and has protested to the European Commission.
Another
Law and Justice MP, Marek Opiola, told the TVN 24 news station that:
“Do not forget that this happened on the 70th anniversary of the
invasion of Poland by Soviet troops.”
Editor of the monthly Raport
magazine, Tomasz Hypki, said, however: “There is nothing unusual in
this. The Russians were simply testing equipment. The Americans do the
same.”
