Poland foreign minister says possibility of sending soldiers to Ukraine should not be ruled out

No country, including Poland, has publicly supported the idea of sending foreign troops to Ukraine

  • When asked whether he would send Polish troops to Ukraine, Poland’s foreign minister, Radek Sikorski, said, "We should not exclude any option. Let Putin be guessing as to what we will do."
  • When asked about a German magazine's report suggesting Poland might send troops to Ukraine, a spokesperson for Poland’s Defense Ministry told Polish media he had "no knowledge of that."
  • Poland supports Ukraine politically and by providing military equipment and humanitarian aid.

Poland’s foreign minister says the NATO nation should not exclude the possibility of sending troops to Ukraine and should keep Russian President Vladimir Putin in suspense over whether such a decision would ever be made.

Radek Sikorski made the comments in an interview published Tuesday in the Gazeta Wyborcza daily.

"We should not exclude any option. Let Putin be guessing as to what we will do," Sikorski said when asked whether he would send Polish troops to Ukraine.
