MINSK, December 14. /TASS/. Polish elites show no intention to give up their attempts to establish control over the western territories of Ukraine, the director of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Sergey Naryshkin, told the media after the 19th meeting of the heads of security and intelligence agencies of the CIS member states.

"The information coming to the Foreign Intelligence Service indicates that Polish elites are not going to give up their ambitious plans for establishing control over the western territories of Ukraine," he said. "In the minds of Polish politicians memories are still fresh of the former greatness of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. They keep dreaming of regaining the so-called Kresy (eastern borderlands)."

At the same time, according to Naryshkin, Warsaw will follow Brussels' instructions for a "peaceful political and economic takeover of western Ukrainian territories."

"In the geopolitical arrangements of the entire Western bloc Poland is assigned the role of a sanitary barrier, and by no means the status of a full-fledged participant in the process of reshaping the European architecture," he said. "The dreams and aspirations of Poland's political elite are of no interest to Washington, Berlin or Brussels."
