Russia is cynically and deliberately escalating tension and trying to intimidate Poland, according to the government plenipotentiary for the security of the information space of the Republic of Poland, Stanisław Żaryn, referring to the incident involving the border guard plane participating in the Frontex mission. He judged it a serious offense.
On Sunday morning, a Border Guard spokeswoman, Lieutenant Anna Michalska, told PAP that there was an incident over the Black Sea on Friday involving a Border Guard aircraft participating in a Frontex mission. The Polish Turbolet L-410 aircraft was approached three times by a Russian fighter performing aggressive and dangerous maneuvers. During the incident, the Polish crew temporarily lost control of the aircraft and lost altitude.
During the patrol flight of the Turbolet L-410 aircraft of the Polish Border Guard, during the Frontex operation under the command of Romania, a dangerous event occurred in the operational area designated by Romania
said the lieutenant.
“It’s a serious breach.”
Żaryn on Twitter ruled on Sunday that the Russian fighter “tried to ram a Border Guard patrol plane”, which is “another aggressive operation against Poland”.
This is a serious offense – an action against Polish officers and the Polish state
– added.
The Russians have been escalating the situation for several days and are carrying out aggressive intelligence operations against Poland. Previously, the Russian propaganda program made threats against the Polish ambassador to Russia, now a Polish plane has been rammed and Poland has often been threatened with retaliation and even destruction of the country in connection with its involvement in Ukraine
Zaryn remarked.
According to the government’s plenipotentiary for the security of the information space of the Republic of Poland, “Russia is cynically and deliberately escalating tension and intimidating Poland.” In his opinion, Moscow’s actions show once again that it is Russia that is an aggressive and hostile country towards Poland.
