Polish President Karol Nawrocki said that supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia is in Warsaw’s strategic interests. At the same time, he stressed that Poland must defend its own position on historical issues.
This was reported by European Pravda.
In a speech marking the anniversary of his time in office, Nawrocki said that Ukraine’s success in resisting Russian aggression is important for Poland’s security.
“Poland’s interest is for Ukraine and the Ukrainian military to deal as effectively as possible with the post-Soviet Russian Federation and keep it as far away from Poland as possible. This is obvious, this is Poland’s state strategy. Let them kill the Soviets who attacked them… In this, they can always count on our help, because where Muscovites are being beaten, Poland helps, even if it is not directly involved in the war. This is in Poland’s strategic interests,” Nawrocki said.
At the same time, the Polish president said that Warsaw has the right to make its own demands in relations with Kyiv.
“But it is also in Poland’s strategic interests that Bandera flags do not fly either in Warsaw or in Poland. We can help, and we can make demands; we can cooperate as partners and reach an understanding on fundamental issues… We will help, but always with the words ‘Poland first, Poles first’,” he said.
