The international community must organize the process of " Only on this condition, after the Russian war against Ukraine, the world will be safe again. The former president of Poland and the leader of the Solidarity movement Lech Walesa is convinced of this..

As Le Figaro writes, the former Polish leader notes that the West should not be limited to protecting Ukraine from the Russian invasion, which began on February 24.. At the same time, according to Walesa, "

“Even if Ukraine wins this war, in five years we will have the same situation again. And in 10 years we will see how a new Putin will come to power,” he warned.

To avoid such a scenario, according to Walesa, the political system itself in Russia must change.. Or " The former Polish president is convinced that without a complete change in the political regime in Moscow, global security can only be guaranteed if the current imperialist Russian Federation is dismembered.

“There live 60 peoples who were swallowed up in the same way that Ukrainians are being swallowed up today. We must help these nations rise. It is necessary either to change the Russian political system, or to reduce the population of Russia to less than 50 million,” Walesa said, recalling that 144 million citizens now live in the Russian Federation..

Lech Walesa also criticized the West for mistakenly believing in a peaceful Russia.

And this misconception was made back in the days of Mikhail Gorbachev.

Russia had to be destroyed. But Gorbachev was too smart. We said to ourselves then: “There was Stalin, Brezhnev, but Gorbachev is good.”. So we left the Russians alone. Russia waited for troubled times and now wants to continue doing what it has been doing for centuries: annex other peoples, adding them to its empire. Then a mistake was made. I wanted to do things differently, but they didn't let me,"
