Russia’s foreign intelligence chief has threatened that Poland and the Baltic States will be targeted in the event of NATO “aggression”.

Sergey Naryshkin said in an interview published on Tuesday that Russia would inflict “damage” on the entire military alliance if NATO threatens it or Belarus, but that Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia would be “the first to suffer”.
