Safety situation in Europe deteriorates as a result of Russia’s policies. This was stated by the Minister of National Defense of Poland Mariusha Blazkak, RIA Novosti reports.
Politician accused Moscow in constant buildup of military power. “Immediate threats used in foreign policy relations, as well as other forms of testing our defense capability, unfortunately, have become a new normality for the environment of Russia,” he concluded.
