The Polish Deputy Minister of Defense Stanislaw Komorowski showed at the last meeting of the National Defense Committee his

Splitting operations in two might be an old Russian trick according to Polish institutions

concerns about Russian military maneuvers that were carried out in recent weeks.

“We are concerned that such practices took place – using various forces and components. This shows that a potential danger exists and, what is even worse, that it is being practiced. The fact that those practices technically were meant to have a defensive structure but turned into offensive practices against Poland, Latvia and Estonia shows in which direction this is going,” he admitted.

The Minister stated that such maneuvers had been divided into two parts, which is a Russian trick to minimize its importance and thus deceive the international community.

Komorowski also showed their concern about the war doctrine which will be presented to Russian President Medvedev this year and that accepts the preventive use of nuclear weapons, not only in a full-scale but also in regional and local conflicts.
