Mr Sikorski also discusses the situation in Georgia and Russia's credibility.

The NATO Seretary General commented that the words of the Russian General were "pathetic" and "unhelpful." Poland has been very accomodating to the Russians by volunteering to allow Russia inspections and technical monitoring of the program. Sikorski also stated that "This rhetoric is unneccesary and unhelpful."

The Polish Foreign Affairs Minister also comments on the ongoing situation in Georgia and questions Russia's credibility in light of their recent statements that they would withdraw from Georgia.
