The head of Polish intelligence warns: Russia is preparing military operations against the eastern flank of NATO. Putin denies the attack plans.
WARSAW – Fears are growing of a Russian attack on NATO’s eastern flank. After the Baltic countries sounded the alarm for some time and feared for their security, Poland is now also drawing up the terrifying scenario of a Russian attack on NATO territory. Although a significant portion of the Russian armed forces usually stationed on NATO’s borders have currently been transferred to Ukraine, Russia intends to renew its army in order to… NATOThreatening borders while maintaining and expanding covert and hybrid operations.

Last March, Putin said… BBC Aggression on NATO territory was excluded. He added that the idea that his country, which has one of the largest nuclear arsenals in the world, Poland, would attack the Baltic states, all of which, unlike Ukraine, are members of NATO, is “complete nonsense.” But he warned that if Ukraine deployed Western F-16 fighter jets from airfields in other countries, they would become „legitimate targets wherever they are.”
NATO countries are currently scrambling to restore full defense capability after the Western military alliance looked back on a decade-long phase of low-intensity conflict.

War is back in Europe and the time for peace dividends is over. That’s why we’re doing our part. Germany will spend more money on defense this year than ever before in the history of the Bundeswehr.”
He pointed out that the 2% goal set by NATO will be achieved, „and we cannot stop there.” Within NATO, a growing number of members are calling for increased investments. For example, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron is vocal about NATO countries France Press agency Increase military spending to 2.5% of GDP. At the next NATO summit in July, it should be clear that all allies will soon meet the 2% target, according to previously published excerpts of Cameron’s speech scheduled for Thursday, May 9, at the National Cyber Security Center in London. He continues: „Then we have to quickly introduce 2.5% as a target.” (Lahema)

We share the same opinion and are also ready to return to negotiations.”

The number of people from West Africa heading to Europe has increased significantly. Not only do they want to escape poverty, they also want to feel a lack of prospects.
Sheikh Ndaw, 24, just wants to leave. Although the young mechanic has a job, nothing can stop him in Senegal: “I have my job, I work every day, but nothing works.” “Nothing works in this country.” His declared goal is Europe. And he already knows how to get there: by boat. From the point of view of the young Senegalese man, there is no other way out: “The only option is to go there illegally. Because I cannot afford the legal way, the plane.”
This makes the young man a very typical case for his generation. At least this is what migration researcher Professor Ali Tandian of Gaston Berger University in Saint Louis in northern Senegal sees. It is naive to think that most people leave their country in search of work, says Tandiyan.
Poverty is by no means the only reason
It’s more complicated, and the reasons are more complex: „Research shows us that those who migrate are not as poor as you think,” Tandiyan explains. “They are people who work. But they work for others so that the profits do not come back to them. Or they are people who are forced to do multiple jobs.”
Tandiyan talks about the so-called “working poor.” Indeed, statistics indicate that the poorest of the poor in Africa do not have the strength or means to undertake the long, often life-threatening journey – let alone pay the smugglers.
So it’s the people with the least limited resources who get going. The data also shows that the number of migrants leaving their homes within Africa is several times higher than the number heading to Europe in often small wooden fishing boats.
The number of immigrants is increasing rapidly
However, 13,000 people arrived in the Canary Islands via the so-called North Atlantic Route in the first three months of this year, five times the number of people the previous year. Many of them are from Senegal.
Most are driven by desperation — or by dreaming of a better future in their heads, says migration expert Tandiyan. “With all the illusions, the heroism of immigration and the glorification of travel for immigrants, people think it’s possible to find their way around once you’re gone.”
When Tandean talks about “delusions” and “glorification,” he is referring to a social media phenomenon that has been giving Europeans headaches for years: young immigrants and influencers in North Africa have repeatedly filmed themselves in TikTok photos and videos, smiling and smiling completely. On their perilous journeys in small boats across the Mediterranean.
They stood relaxed in front of their smartphone cameras and acted as if it was a harmless fun ride with a glorious future waiting beyond the horizon. And not about a flight that kills thousands every year.
Many films that appeared years ago have now been deleted. But this does not solve the problem. In West Africa too, these posts, often shared hundreds of thousands of times, may still haunt the minds of many young people.
Will the new government change anything?
Regarding Senegal’s youth, aspirants took power at the beginning of April: “I often tell young people: the solution is not to ride boats.” Politician Ousmane Sonko addressed his young countrymen with these words in 2019. Sonko is well respected, especially among young Senegalese, and served as prime minister for a few weeks after his party colleague Diomai Fay won the presidential election in a landslide.
You now have the opportunity to make a difference. The main tasks they set for themselves are: job creation; Improving the conditions of rural residents and fishermen; Curb inflation.
„Immigration is not yet on our politicians’ agenda,” criticizes Tandiyan. Senegal’s newly elected government, celebrated by many young people, now has the opportunity to change that. The big question is whether she will.
Sheikh Ndaw, 24, doesn’t want to wait for an answer. He is ready to risk his life and leave Senegal by boat to Europe.
