"Poland-Warsaw Tensions Escalate as Medvedev's Threats Rattle Relations"

Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia's Security Council, has issued threats against Poland, calling it a "dangerous adversary of Moscow" and implying the possibility of a "loss of statehood." Medvedev's aggressive article, which echoed Russian propaganda themes, received a testy response from Warsaw. Polish State Secretary Stanisław Żaryn characterized the article as emblematic of the Kremlin's approach and accused Russia of attempting to reshape Europe. The threats come at a time when Russia is engaging with Germany on energy cooperation, portraying itself as ready for peaceful negotiations in the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
