PM: Planned Night Wolves’ ride is Russia’s answer to US convoy journey

Poland’s prime minister was among the first to call it a provocation:
plans by the Night Wolves motorcycle gang, which has close ties to Russian
President Vladimir Putin, to stage a ride from Moscow to Berlin to mark the
70th anniversary of the end of WWII. Their route will take them across
Poland, Belarus, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany. On
Monday, Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka suggested the ride was a propaganda
event to counter a recent show of military strength by the US.
