Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has delivered a blunt warning that Europe has entered a “pre-war era” and if Ukraine is defeated by Russia, nobody in Europe will be able to feel safe.
“I don’t want to scare anyone, but war is no longer a concept from the past,” he told European media. “It’s real and it started over two years ago.”
His remarks came as a fresh barrage of Russian missiles targeted Ukraine.
Russia has intensified its bombardment of Ukraine in recent weeks.
Overnight into Friday Ukraine’s air force said it had shot down 58 drones and 26 missiles and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said energy infrastructure had been damaged in six regions, in the west, centre and east of the country.
Putin wouldn’t dare invade Ukraine, it’s just training, right? They didn’t “dance with neutrality”. They were a former soviet state far east, that gave up its nukes for security guarantees that the US now wipes their ass with. They openly sided with democracy by throwing out a russian puppet - who wasn’t really “neutral”. You barely know the history of the country, yet you try to look like the expert.
I agree. Nobody thought Putin would be stupid enough to invade Ukraine, myself included, but here we are. Putin is not working on the same logic as the rest of the world. Plus, no one is ever going to use nukes on any country that has them in parity, offensively or defensively.
