I wanted to share with you several points from an interview Radosław Sikorski, Foreign Minister of Poland gave to the Guardian media. Link to the full article is below.

◾️Poland backs the right of Ukraine to strike at military targets inside Russia - the West has to stop constantly limiting itself in what it does to support Ukraine.

◾️On sanctions: "We should drop the principle of unanimity in sanctions. Some of them have been delayed by one member state blocking them. And also it should be an EU crime to breach EU sanctions and therefore prosecutable by the European prosecution service."

◾️On Putin: "He is an absurd leader of the international conservatism. We are talking about a KGB colonel, for Christ’s sake."

◾️On whether it was permissible for Ukraine to strike military targets inside Russia: "The Russians are hitting the Ukrainian’s electricity grid and their grain terminals and gas storage capacity, civilian infrastructure. The Russian operation is conducted from the HQ at Rostov-on-Don. Apart from not using nuclear weapons, Russia does not limit itself much."

◾️ On "red lines": "Always declaring what our own red line is only invites Moscow to tailor its hostile actions to our constantly changing self-imposed limitations."
