“There was no idea to defend Poland against Russia. There was an idea to liquidate the army and subordinate it to Russia,” says former Minister of National Defense Antoni Macierewicz, referring to published documents revealing Poland’s defense plans from the time of the PO-PSL government, approved in 2011. According to them, the government of Donald Tusk was ready to give half of Poland to Russia in the event of war.
The Smolensk tragedy – Russia’s first attack on a NATO country
This concept, developed in 2011 and published in 2014 by President Komorowski, assumed that there would be no aggression from Russia. Therefore, you can safely retreat to the Vistula and not have to worry about an attack from the Russian side
– said Macierewicz during this morning’s conversation with editor Michał Rachoń on the Jedynka TVP program “Jedziemy”. He added that it was an idea born of absolute ignorance of what Russia could do.
They did not understand the meaning of the attack on the Smolensk crime. It was the first attack on a NATO country, with the aim of eliminating the independence formation and rendering us unable to defend ourselves against Russia.
– said Macierewicz
There was no other plan to defend against the Russians
That was the concept on their part. Withdrawal, submission and acceptance of the domination of Russia and the Russo-German system
– said the former head of the Ministry of National Defense, ruling that “in fact there was no scenario to defend Poland.”
There was no idea (in this plan – editor’s note) of an actual battle against the Russian side [..] There was no idea of defense. There was an idea to liquidate the army and subordinate it to Russia
– he admitted during the conversation, emphasizing that the idea of giving half of Poland to Russia until, among other things, the organization of the Polish army, the transfer of NATO troops to Poland, was not among the scenarios that were discussed in the PO-PSL government’s Polish defense plan, but that there were no other scenarios.
It was really a dismissal
It was really a dismissal. Therefore, all military formations in the east were liquidated.
– Macierewicz said of the claims that “this plan was just a fuse for 10 to 14 hours in case the NATO offensive was postponed.”
There were no plans to reclaim areas reportedly abandoned before some stage of the war. There was only talk of withdrawal
– added.
The army was an unnecessary expense
Macierewicz also referred to the liquidation of military units during the PO-PSL government.
The army was an unnecessary expense. She was a waste of money. The Polish army was liquidated. […] I’m not saying that all generals had pro-Russian concepts, on the contrary. They were eliminated and had to go abroad or leave. But they were restored by me. It was necessary to rebuild a strong army
– said the former head of the Ministry of National Defense.
