Zakharova commented on Poland's plans to build a road for "troop transfers"

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has assessed Poland's plans to build a road to Kaliningrad Region to enable a quick troop transfer. The diplomat wondered whether this should be linked to the beginning of New Year celebrations in Warsaw.

"Have they started drinking already?" - she wrote in her Telegram channel, commenting on the words of Maciej Duszczyk, deputy head of the Polish Interior Ministry.

That Poland intends to build such a road, the official said the day before in an interview with the Financial Times. According to Duszczyk, the work will begin in the first months of 2025. He did not give any other details.
