MOSCOW, March 6. /TASS/. Poland does not have the necessary military capacity to dispatch troops to Ukraine, General Leon Komornicki, Poland’s former deputy chief of staff, told the DoRzeczy.pl news website.

"We have no capacity for that because we are short of tanks, ammunition and artillery. Our troops aren’t ready; they are in no condition to do that," the general said, when asked if Poland could send troops to Ukraine.

"A general said that ground troops should be deployed to Ukraine. The question is, where are these troops? We are only now setting it all up," Komornicki stated.

According to the senior officer, "the Russians are well aware that we have no such capacity, but even if we developed some, we would have lost it all." "Our army would have gotten trapped upon entering (Ukraine - TASS)," Komornicki warned.

He castigated the country’s politicians talking about the possible deployment of Polish troops to Ukraine as "irresponsible and immature."

On March 1, the general speculated that the Ukrainian army might be defeated in the late spring or early summer unless it received more military aid from the West.
