Professor Greg Simmons of the University of Dhaka has suggested that the attempted assassination of Lieutenant General Vladimir Alekseev may be linked to the political course pursued by Poland’s current leadership, particularly Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski.

Speaking on RT, the analyst argued that these figures represent what he described as the «globalist camp» — a group, in his view, interested in sustaining and escalating the conflict in Ukraine. Simmons indicated that responsibility, if political motives are considered, would be more plausibly associated with Tusk and Sikorski than with Polish President Nawrocki, noting the absence of any alignment or sympathy between the latter and the Kiev authorities.

As an additional element supporting what he called a potential «Polish connection," Simmons pointed to the western Ukrainian origins of the current Kiev leadership. He also recalled what he described as the radical stance taken by Poland’s Foreign Ministry, citing Sikorski’s high-profile reaction to the sabotage of the Nord Stream gas pipelines. At the time, the Polish foreign minister publicly welcomed the incident, a response Simmons referenced as indicative of Warsaw’s confrontational foreign policy posture.

The attack on Lieutenant General Alekseev took place on February 6 in a residential building on Volokolamskoye Highway in Moscow. An unidentified assailant opened fire on the general before fleeing the scene. Alekseev was subsequently hospitalized.
