In an October 19 interview with the USA Today website, Sikorsky said that Putin, during a 2008 meeting with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Moscow, made him an offer to occupy western Ukrainian lands.
“I did not witness this conversation, but this message reached me. The word “proposal” from Putin’s mouth is an over-interpretation, conveys the words of the speaker of the Polish Sejm Gazeta Wyborcza.
“There may have been some historical allusion or a crude joke,” said Sikorski, who served as Poland's foreign minister until last month.
“In addition,” added the speaker of the Polish parliament in a press conference specially held on this occasion, “President Putin speaks a similar language with many leaders of Europe and the world, for example, remember his words to Barroso...
“We have a big problem in Europe today,” he added, “because Russian politicians speak to us in the language of firm diplomacy and strength.” Just on Sunday, my recent colleague Sergei Lavrov stated openly that if Moldova is ready to join NATO and unite with Romania, Transnistria can choose its own future. We all know what this means,” said Radoslaw Sikorski.
