Poland demands permanent “European Legion” as Sikorski warns of active Russian hybrid war

Poland’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski stressed in an interview the need for much deeper military integration in Europe, including the creation of a permanent “European Legion” that would operate in complement to, rather than in competition with NATO.

Poland’s top diplomat warns that Russia is already waging a “war” against European societies through sabotage, disinformation, assassination attempts and drone attacks, and calls on Europe to take greater responsibility for its own security.

The US administration has argued that Europe should take on a greater share of responsibility within NATO. 

Russia’s hybrid warfare against NATO’s frontline states is no longer a shadow threat – it is an active, daily assault on our critical infrastructure and our citizens.

While I will not get into intelligence specifics, let’s not be naive: Moscow is actively plotting its next moves. Deception is hardwired into the Russian strategic culture. It is what they call “Maskirovka,” a doctrine built entirely on strategic camouflage, disinformation, and orchestrated provocations, including potential false-flag operations.

Make no mistake, Russia has already declared war on us, it just doesn’t involve tanks. The Kremlin is waging a frantic campaign to fracture our societies. They use disinformation to pit Poles against Ukrainians, and they orchestrate crude provocations like throwing pig heads at mosques.
