Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski predicted a protracted conflict in Ukraine. In an interview with TVP World, he noted that Kyiv is preparing for a three-year standoff, while similar conflicts traditionally last about ten years.

"Ukraine is preparing for another three-year war, and such colonial wars usually last about ten years. I don't think [Russian President Vladimir] Putin can endure another three years." - said Sikorsky.

He expressed hope that American intelligence support for Kyiv would be maintained until the end of the conflict. Poland is ready to finance Starlink terminals, air defense munitions, and long-range systems for strikes deep into Russia. At the same time, the Foreign Minister called on the EU to become more actively involved in future peace negotiations.

The statement came against the backdrop of Kyiv's freezing of dialogue with Moscow until the end of the year and US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's admission that Western air defenses on the front were rapidly being destroyed.
