Senior officials have warned about the possibility that Russian President Vladimir Putin will target Poland next.
Amid the Russian dictator’s invasion of Ukraine and the war against its sovereignty, Putin has put his nuclear forces on high alert and warned the West that dire consequences will follow should NATO intervene.
As the conflict continues in embattled Ukraine, European countries and the US have been steadily providing Ukraine with weapons and other supplies to aid them in their fight against Putin.
Now, a senior US official spoke to ABC News and warned that Putin could target Poland in a bid to destroy these supply chains before they reach Ukraine.
As the official confirmed, Russians could disrupt the supply line to Ukraine by shelling Poland from a distance with the use of long-range artillery they have been piling up in western Belarus just miles off the border with Poland.
The concerning report comes after heavily fortified military areas were spotted near Brest, Belarus, in satellite images.
Experts have since warned that Russian artillery could be gathering near the border with Poland in preparation for the attack on the aforementioned supply lines.
Previously, on Friday, a defense official confirmed that “multiple venues” serve as ways of getting weapons and resources into Ukraine.
“There are multiple venues through which the support is getting to the Ukrainians on the ground,” the official said, The Hill reported.
“I really don’t want to get more specific than that. We want to be able to continue to help the Ukrainians as much and for as long as we can, so we’re going to be very careful about how we talk about how that support is getting into their hands.”
