An adviser to the Polish president says the US mistakenly perceives Syria as the root of all evil and called on the West to be prepared for Russian expansion.
Krzysztof Szczerski told the Guardian: “Currently there is a geopolitical confrontation, so Putin's next blows are not guaranteed only in the post-Soviet space. It can be anywhere in the world. And Syria has proven it.
