Poland is greatly concerned about a possible attack from Russia, reports Yuriy Shcherbak, Ukraine’s former ambassador to the US, after a recent trip to the country. Shcherbak took part in an international conference dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the revival of the Solidarity movement in Poland and shared his experiences with Espreso.TV on March 18.

Poland already considers President Viktor Yanukovych as being being ousted by the revolution. This was stated by the Advisor for International Affairs to the President of Poland, Roman Kuźniar.

President Komorowski’s advisor said that Yanukovych will not be able to get protection from Russia or organize a counter-revolution. “This is the final end of Yanukovych… I do not think that Russia will support him, or that he will get shelter there. Ukraine is out of the woods. The Russians are already thinking pragmatically. They play sharp only when they have a chance to win,” thinks Kuźniar. Continue reading
