“This is a historic visit, there has never been a US president in a war zone,” General Waldemar Skrzypczak told television wPolsce.pl.
General Waldemar Skrzypczak commented on President Joe Biden’s visit to Ukraine.
The excellent operation of the US services proves that they are well prepared for this type of operation. This is a historic visit. The President of the United States has never been present in a war zone. Everyone avoids their presence in the combat zone. It turned out that the president of a country critical to a country waging war against Russia goes to Kiev and walks along the streets of Kiev with President Zelensky. Excellent operation, excellent decision, and it seems that this is a clear message to Moscow that the democratic world, the free world, is not afraid of what Moscow is trying to convey to the world. The free, democratic world is determined to defend Ukraine, its freedom and sovereignty, as evidenced by President Biden’s presence in Kiev. Revelation!
– emphasized in an interview with Małgorzata Jarecka.
I have experience from Iraq and Afghanistan, how the Americans organized visits of their politicians to the areas of combat operations. It was always perfectly prepared. The key to the success of such an operation is above all the secrecy of such an operation
he stressed.
General Skrzypczak spoke on the television wPolsce.pl about the professionalism of the US services in preparing this operation.
Everyone was so surprised by Biden’s visit, that is, the US services were able to prepare this visit in such a way that no information about the preparations leaked out. The scope of the preparations was very broad and concerned, for example, the landing in Poland, the train journey to Kiev and the return from Kiev. There were so many sensitive spots that could have revealed with this visit that it would be Biden, the preparation process for this surgery turned out to have been excellent. This proves the professionalism of these services.
The general also emphasized the excellent cooperation with the Polish services.
Nothing can happen in Poland without the knowledge of Polish services. There are people in the services who were able to deal with the Americans, demonstrating professionalism and perfectionism
– he said.
It seems that this visit is intended to consolidate the efforts of all countries to support Ukraine. Biden is in Poland, among other things, to put an end to all discussions and doubts about Western European countries that are not yet fully convinced of the need for full support for Ukraine. It seems that Biden’s presence will put an end to all these discussions, digressions of Western politicians. I believe that Biden’s visit, if only through the meeting of the “Bucharest Nine”, will give new meaning to what is happening on NATO’s eastern border. This is necessary in the context of the fact that we have a right to feel threatened by what is happening beyond our eastern border. The presence of NATO should be very clear here. It seems that NATO, along with the Americans, will undertake such efforts
he said.
When asked about plans to build arms and ammunition factories in Poland, General Skrzypczak stated:
This is necessary in Poland as well as in Europe. The war in Ukraine has shown that Europe does not have sufficient military potential, and this can be seen in Ukraine, which could support Ukraine when it comes to arms and ammunition. The countries of Europe have been disarming for many years and, given what is happening beyond the eastern border, they must now arm themselves. Such a need exists on the basis of the Polish state and private arms industry, it would be a good solution.
How do you force Russia to end the war?
When asked how to force Russia to end this war, General Skrzypczak replied:
In principle, the Ukrainians hold the key, now it is necessary to multiply efforts for Ukraine. The Russians are preparing for an offensive, but it is clear that they do not have the strength to carry out such operations. Putin has redefined his strategic goals, he no longer dreams of Kiev, Eastern Ukraine and Donbas may remain in his dreams
said Skrzypczak.
I believe that with the support of the West and equipping the Ukrainian army with new combat systems, modern combat systems, not junk equipment, it will be able to drive the Russians out of the occupied territory of Ukraine.
– added.
The conversation was also about sending planes to Ukraine.
The key to starting this offensive will be using this air force. In my opinion, the Ukrainians are able to break the Russian offensive, including this air offensive, because they have excellent air defense systems. If they get the planes in 3-4 months, they will be ready for a counter-offensive to liberate the territory of eastern Ukraine.
– said General Skrzypczak.
