In a candid interview on Polsat television, General Rajmund Andrzejczak, the former chief of the Polish Armed Forces, said that the human losses suffered by the Ukrainians are in the millions, not in the hundreds of thousands, adding that the country was on its way to defeat.

„More than 10 million people are missing. I estimate that the losses should be in the millions, not hundreds of thousands. The country has no resources, no one to fight. Ukrainians are losing this war,”

he said.

The general said the growing threat of war in Europe is cause for concern. Poland has two to three years to prepare for a possible war. However, efforts must be made to prevent the Russian-Ukrainian war from spreading to other countries.

„We have to be prepared. A lot depends on us, whether it will happen two, three or five years from now. Our job is to keep the threat as far into the future as possible. There is still time, but much work is needed.”

Rajmond Andrzejczak was reacting to German intelligence indicating that Russia could attack a NATO country after 2026. Highlighting the outdated aspects of the Polish defence strategy, Andrzejczak also commented on the recent presidential elections in Russia, saying that the results simplify things for Putin, for example, triggering a new wave of mobilisation, which is bad for both Ukraine and Poland.

Meanwhile, Germany is in a state of growing disarray over recently leaked footage containing information that poses a national security risk in the context of the Russia-Ukraine war. The federal parliament’s defence committee chair, liberal politician Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, wants to limit the number of participants in some meetings to reduce the risk of passing on confidential information. For example, ministry employees would not be allowed to attend meetings where confidential information is being discussed. When information was last leaked about the Taurus long-range missiles, 105 people happened to be present at the meeting.
