‘NATO would have to respond’: WW3 fears ramp up over worries of ‘Russian attack’ on Poland – Express

Since Vladimir Putin's annexation of four Ukrainian regions to Russia, military experts have warned an attack with NATO equipment on one of the regions could be interpreted as an offensive on Russia's territorial sovereignty. The West's continuous supply of NATO weapons to Ukraine could then plunge the military alliance into a direct conflict with the Russian Federation. US Senator Marco Rubio said his main concern is that Russian troops could target a distribution point in a NATO country like Poland, raising the prospect of a Third World War.

Senator Marco Rubio said: "I think that is quite possible that he could end up striking some of these distribution places where these supplies are coming through, including inside Poland.

"A lot of talk about nuclear, but I think the thing I worry most about is a Russian attack inside NATO territory for example aiming at the airport in Poland or some other distribution point."

CNN's Dana Bash asked: "Would NATO have to respond?"

"Well, I think it would depend on the nature of the strike and how the other allies within NATO would respond," Senator Rubio said.

"There certainly would be an attack on one.

"And therefore, certainly NATO would have to respond to it.

"How will it respond? I think a lot of it will depend on the nature of the attack and the scale and scope of it."
