MOSCOW, April 16. /TASS/. Sergey Naryshkin, director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), described the situation on the border of the Union State of Russia and Belarus as very tense and noted the militarization of the economy in the Baltic States and Poland.

TASS has compiled the key statements by the SVR chief.

The situation on the border of the Russia-Belarus Union State is very tense: "We see increased militarization of the economy in the Baltic States and Poland, increased military construction is underway, and the mobilization potential of the territory of the Baltic states and Poland is developing."

The militarization of Poland and the Baltic states is comparable to the period before World War II: "I must remind you that this is exactly how events developed on the eve of World War II. However, the attack on Poland came not from the East, but from the West."

Poland should remember who liberated it from Nazism to avoid repeating history: "It was the soldiers and officers of the Red Army who liberated Poland and brought it freedom and liberation from Nazi occupation."
